Where can I find spare tire stuff for my 85?

My car came with a flat spare tire in the passenger side well and nothing else. The markings on the tire said you were supposed to inflate it with a can of compressed air. Two questions:

1. What should be in the spare tire compartment along with the tire?
2. Anyone have any good leads for where should I buy the jack, jack handle, and air can (or whatever I'm supposed to use)?

Re: Where can I find spare tire stuff for my 85?

That is the stuff I gathered up. the jack and lug wrench are from an 87 witch is a little diffrent style that the earlyer stuff but I think it is nicer. I also have a very nice preinflated spare so you don't have to worry about inflateing it if you ever need it. Oh and by the way I have no idea if the can is still charged and don't know how you would tell. It says it is refillable but I don't know how you would do it. Well just let me know whitch way you want to go with the spare and no can or spacer or if you want the can and the spacer, and I will get you a shipping guote as soon as I can find a box for it.

I belive it is only for the colapsed spare tires as not all of my cars had it. just takes up the extra space under the tire.
