Hi,
Has anyone seen a replacement for the spare tire kit: 06421-TGV-A11 that is unavailable?

There's a bracket in the kit to secure the jack and protect the battery. I've seen it listed as 74651-TGV-A01 and 74652-TGV-A01. Does anyone know the difference?

Thanks.
John

I know the kit is not showing up in the Acura estore, but I'm guessing that you've checked the online stores which carry the kit and they are saying it's unavailable?

This isn't a valid part #74651-TGV-A01, so it's likely a typo. This looks to be the correct part #74652-TGV-A01. That being said you will also need other parts which appear to be all broken out here: 74652-TGV-A01 Genuine Acura BRACKET

Yes, the kit has been on backorder for months. They just came up with a date of April 6, so that is progress.

Here's the link to one of the online stores selling the 74651-TGV-A01 bracket: 74651-TGV-A01 Genuine Acura BRACKET, SPARE TIRE Prices range from $240 - $350 just for the bracket.

$240-$350 is the price for the kit. The bracket, as referenced in my prior post, is about $63.

Then in addition you have to buy the donut tire. For its size is not cheap.

Here is what I did. $450 total from ModernSpare.com. Everything you need (tire, rim, tools) included.

Does this use OEM ball seat lug nuts, or conical nuts?

 

[fjpthree]

You use the lug nuts that come with the original rim.

That's correct. I was just addressing jvg's statement which appeared to suggest the bracket alone was that price.

So you installed this over the battery under the trunk cover?

I meant to say After purchasing the factory bracket.

 

[fjpthree]

Did NOT purchase the factory bracket. Used a 3" bolt that I purchased from Home Depot. If you look at pictures 1 and 2 you can see the bolt.

Oh yes I see it thanks.
