Caterham spare tyre hold-down rod?

[Alaskossie]

Anybody out there who has foregone carrying their spare tyre (tire), and who has the long, threaded spare-tyre hold-down rod lying around?

 

I went on the season's first blat yesterday evening, and when I returned, I noticed that I was missing my spare tyre. Surprise!

 

I retraced my blat, and about six miles out I found, lying beside the road, the tyre and the fitted cloth bag that I keep inside the tire well -- but no hold-down rod, of course.

 

(I was fortunate to even find the tyre -- it could have rolled for dozens of yard off the road. The rim shows a little road-rash).

 

Thanks for any help!

Tom,

 

I have a spare one in the shop, send me your shipping address and I will get it on the way. I'm assuming you will need the long spacer as well.
