Mickt Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Just looked under MH and found on floor a pad could be rubber type ,size 6.5x5x22. This is made from 2 pieces stuck together. The only thing I can think of it was a pad from where the spare wheel was fitted under and this stopped any vibration.Spare wheel s carried under bed now.Any ideas welcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanb Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Mick, Our Ducato is a 2006 x244. Rubber pad measures 380 x 48 x 15. Mounted on transverse floor stiffener. Pad has what appear to be two screw caps at either end. I assume that fixing is self tappers. I would guess that fixing centres are about 340, but difficult to measure through spokes of spare wheel. I assume that your dimensions are in cms. Please note that convention is to assume mm when units are not given. (For example a 20 metre beam would be shown on a drawing as 20,000.)

Mickt Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 My pad has no holes for screws, I assumed it probably stuck to floor pan.My measurements are cms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Can you see a clean area where it has fallen from? Keith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickt Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 There is a flat area that roughly fits, mine must have stuck on so is now redundant as some years ago I put spare wheel under bed and cut the wheel cage off, surprised how heavy it was. My thinking was getting the spare out if you had a puncture..I think mystery solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Mickt - 2019-05-27 8:37 PM There is a flat area that roughly fits, mine must have stuck on so is now redundant as some years ago I put spare wheel under bed and cut the wheel cage off, surprised how heavy it was. My thinking was getting the spare out if you had a puncture..I think mystery solved I have same age van ( Ducato 2003 ) and the same thing happened to me yesterday. For info ( in case anyone else has the ' problem ' ) I attach a couple of pics. The rubber pad measures about 6cms across and appears to stop the spare wheel rattling. It wasn't stuck to the underside of the floor - a protrusion on the top of the pad pushes through a hole in the floor. From the pic of the underside of my floor it looks as if there is still a bit of rubber stuck in the hole - so I reckon it just perished and broke off. I plan to clean the bits up and glue them back.
