There might be better methods but I like the KISS mode. Go under apron with a ole can of primer and shoot up carrier hole. (Make sure apron is lined up correctly first)

I can't find anything to tell me if this thing mounts directly on the apron outside as I can't believe it would mount under and through.....07-25-2017, 07:46 PM -
What finish should the spare tire carrier to the body nuts and lock washers be, and do all three bolts including the top one get a lock washer? Thanks, Art07-03-2018, 05:46 AM -

So in the final stretch of getting Rusty put back together. Before paint I never thought about fitting rad splash apron. (mistake) but here I am. My hood shelf and fender are not flush with horns.

I could not find information on lockwashers for the rear spare tire carrier. I am presuming they were used, if so, I am presuming they were gloss black to match the bolts?03-06-2018, 07:50 PM -
Years ago I saw a chart with pictures to identify the different rear spare tire carriers. I can't find anything now.
About 15 years ago I bought a rear spare mount for my cousin's 1930 Fordor, but he sold the car before I got the mount to him, so now I'd like to sell it to get my $35 back, but want to be sure it's the correct application first.

Can someone tell me how the front splash apron attaches on a late '31 coupe? It is not the same as my late '31 pickup or it has the wrong apron on it. Then existing one is attached in the front with the front screw on the frame horn. In the rear it is held up with just two tiny rivets (one on each side) into the flange of the fender and that's all.10-23-2018, 10:55 AM -
The arrows point to frame hole locations in the first picture, are there 4 machine screws that go through the hood shelf, fender, frame, and into splash apron fixed nuts ? I've been looking for pics, but to no avail, any help would be appreciated !! Thanks, Pat...07-10-2018, 07:53 PM -
Can someone tell me what is the correct size hole for the grommet that goes in the splash shield for a side mount spare tire bracket? The service bulletins have it listed as an 1 5/8 inch hole, but this is for a 28-29 car. Is it the same size for a 1931 160B? Thanks12-27-2017, 04:13 PM
