1969 Spare tire mounting?
Does anyone have pics or measurements of where the tab should be mounted to hold down a full size spare? I believe my 69 came with the "space saver spare and no good way to mount the full size spare using current location. Thx.

There are four bumps for each position stamped in the floor pan. I went to get a picture but the repro floor pan I'm about to install is missing those details. My old floor is already cut out in pieces so it will be difficult to get pictures.

So I found the biggest part of my old pan and was surprised at there being four sets of locator bumps. There was only one set of three bumps to locate the jack where mine is.
I do seem to recall at least one of my old first-gen cars having the spare mount bracket welded along the right-most ribs for a full-size spare. Can't recall if that was coupe or convertible. I suspect the location above and to the left of mine could be for coupe space-saver. The one all the way up in the right corner makes no sense to me. |

some bumps were used for positioning the jack

Is your car a coupe or ragtop and which spare (compact or standard) does it have?

I only have convertibles, but let me have a look because I believe they all had all the dimples for all 4 possible combinations.
