13 - Spare wheel Cover Beading

 

At the purchase, the 7A was not provided with the spare wheel cover.
An original cover was found at the spare parte market of ICCCR at Clermont Ferrand (dimensions half-shell: diam 700 heigh 70 mm).

Its beading was still present in very bed condition but sufficient to take as  sample for a refabrication.  .

- one strong rope
- one small rope
- the strip itself made by strong cotton material.

One sewing is made along the strip to keep the ropes in the proper position
