I am looking for the bracket that attaches to the rear of the boot that holds the tyre tie down strap. If anyone has one please contact me.
Thank you,
Louis Levin

Stephen: Thanks for the picture of what you have on your car. Is there another footman's loop down further behind the tyre?

Hi Lois .. there are 2 footman loops one on top and the other near the hub hole in the wheel, I do not know if they came out like this, but I did mine this way to hold the spare wheel securely.
find it hard to upload images, sometimes they work other times they dont.

Hi,
I believe Louis is referring to this bracket that is holding the spare wheel strap ends. I believe this is the original configuration. Steven's car has also the flat bar extending downwards from the sheet metal wall on top of the wall forward of the spare wheel.
- Spare wheel bracket
Sorry, I have not yet had time to take you the measurements for fabricating this.

Does anyone have a spare running board for a 54 4AD.I have just bought a basket case which will clean up OK ,however I am missing parts some of which will be supplied by a donor car I have found locally. The donor cars running boards are rotten and I need the right hand side.
Hope to be up and running in a year or two

Stephen: You might try to contact Fred at
fredzampa@yahoo.com he has a lot of old parts. I purchased a gas tank from him and some seat parts a year ago. Good luck.
