Spacesaver Tire Hold Down Assembly

Postby cv70chall » 10 Oct 2012 20:36

I'm getting close to doing some of the smaller cosmetic stuff and want to know exactly how the hold-down assembly for the spacesaver tire goes in.
Is there a welded piece of metal that the hold-down bar hooks to?
Does anyone have a stock photo of this with the tire removed so I can see how this all goes together?
Thanks!

Hey thanks for that photo! I am definitely missing that piece!
What would you recommend as far as a replacement part?
Fabrication?

I was able to install the bracket this past weekend- fits perfectly!
Here's a diagram I found showing the correct mounting for the Spacesaver and Standard Spare, using the bracket.

Here's the finished product. I've got floor progress as well- so we're real close to being done!
