| Can somebody tell me what year(s) spare tire wheel well is correct for my 66 Westy walk through. A previous owner cut mine out for some reason. Thanks! |

'58 through late '63 and then again from early '64 through '67.
the spare tire well you need should have smooth sides.
they most likely cut yours out for a stewart warner "southwind" gas heater. there are usually corresponding holes in your engine bay and firewall.

dual carbs come nowhere near the spare tire well. you should have no problems there.
