I made a new holder out of a stainless steel pipe riser clamp and swaged it on the end of the cable.
It should be good-
Where in Ohio are you zebra?

There is a couple of yards in C-ville-i guess ill have to be more diligent in my hunt!

Good morning thinkers!- i have a seriously dumb question- my 03 has 17" rims- since i dont have a spare,( broken lift cable)- what size rim is the spare? I know- duh-, but i cant locate a 17" steelie anywhere around here!- any 10 gens, i find are broken and missing as well-
So... are all the spares 16's?- or will i need to find a chrome clad 17 and use it?- (thats like pulling teeth too!)- thanks fellers-

Is there any truth to the rumor that the 17" rim from the crown vic will fit?- it doesnt seem likely to me, but...

No on the CV. It is a standard 5 on 4.5 (114.3) Ford/Toyota/Nissan/Mopar stock bolt pattern. The trucks are 5x135, but you knew that, but I post this just in case of new people not knowing.
Talking about crown vics, we put a spare set of my Mustang 17 inch GT wheels on his CV. Damn, that car looked really good with the Mustang offset wheels. He's still running those today. I'll try and post a picture of them on the CV for an example. I used my 3rd set of Mustang wheels to put on my Exploder. Tires could of been a couple sizes taller, but they worked fine. The lady I sold it too wouldn't buy it without those wheels, so I had to dump a set I didn't want to get rid of. I still have a set of satins in the same wheel.
Bear when I go to Sutton next week, If you want a stock steel, I'll get a cost to ship to you via Parcel Post. I shipped all my extra wheels that way, and got a full set shipped for 152 via USPS. The wheel won't cost you anything, just the postage, if you want it.
Here is a listing for this wheel in your area. Good luck. You will have to type in your zip again, but it will show you some right down the road from you at 40 or so.
