You guys may like this story.. Why I needed to confirm this is I am helping a guy who is restoring a RAIV. The trunk was/is a mystery. The mount for the spare jack has been torched off from its original large spare location leaving just the pieces spot welded to the trunk floor. But, a correct space saver spare Jack mounts were mig welded in ,in the correct orientation, on top of the remnants of the spot welded mounts. The loop where the hook that holds the tire is in the same position for full size or spare,just turned 90 degrees. Pictures look absolutely as if it has been there for ever.The spatter paint covers both the remaining spot welded parts as well as the mig welded mounts. Looks like Fischer made a change in line on this car. |
I would bet that was a factory "oops". When they realized it had the wrong tie down bracket, it went to the repair bay and got "fixed" before it left the plant.
