Anyone able to advise if the NA and NB space saver spare wheels are the same?

When I went to 15" wheels on my NA8, I bought an NB8 space saver & put the two space savers standing side by side to compare height - from memory there was about !/2" difference in height.

Thanks. That means it might not fit in the factory NA position.

15" space saver fits in the NA8 factory position for the 14" space saver, as that's where mine lives, but can't absolutely confirm it will fit in the NA6 factory position, but it probably should.
