Any Interest In a Compact Spare for Brembo Equipped Cars?

Thanks for the above explanations. I just placed an order for the complete kit.

The dealer said the part number for the jack was FR3Z-17080-A. You have HR3Z-17080-A. I wonder what the difference is?

I have been told that the part number I gave superseded the FR3Z-17080-A. Same part just more $$$ to buy.

You are correct. I found images and they are the same, however at a couple of online Ford OEM parts dealers the FR3Z-17080-A is $13.00 cheaper.

I am sorry to hear that your package was damaged during shipping. UPS can be very hard on packages sometimes. We ship out all of the spares fully insured at our own expense for cases just like this. On the outside of the packaging there is stickers that say "Do Not Accept if Damaged". if the package appears to be damaged I would suggest inspecting the item before accepting it and reporting the damage to the delivery man or just flat out refusing the package. This is important because once you take delivery of it, UPS is passing off the responsibility and liability of covering the damage.

There was no way to tell that anything was damaged before cutting the straps. As I mentioned, the balancing weights were knocked off the wheel because the jack and handle were loose and free to bang around inside the rim. I don't blame UPS at all for that, I blame your packaging. That's why I brought it up.

Not that it matters, because I had it delivered to my work address. We ship and receive over a hundred packages a day. No way we hold up the driver while we inspect each one. That's also not how UPS claims work, from firsthand experience. That might be their official policy, but in practice it's not.

Anyway, it's not something worth fighting UPS over. You just need to package those jack kits a little better, or ship them separately.

Thanks, that would be great as I am ready to order this kit and want to make sure I do not buy the wrong part or end up with two of something.

Now that I purchased the spare for my GT350 last week, what is the change for GT350 that you have in place now? Is it a different rim or just a spacer?

There is no change to the rim, we will have the correct sized spacer available for purchase for these cars going forward.

Thanks

A 1" (25mm) spacer with a hub bore of 70.5mm is needed for these cars.

there is enough wheel stud for the spacer? is it because the hub size is not large on the spare?

No there is not enough wheel stud for the spacer. The studs on the vehicle now will be used to bolt down the spacer and the spacer itself will have a new set of studs and lugs on it to use to bolt down the spare. If you google a 1" wheel spacer you will find many pictures of these type of spacers.
