Mounting spare tire to bonnet

[o2batsea]

Honestly the original "dog" type tire mounting hardware is pretty sucky. The single toggle type is waaaayyy better. Part #MRC5063.
I used some rubber bumpers I got at McMaster-Carr. Pack of ten is just under $9. Believe me, nobody's gonna bust out a tape measure and check the height of your rubber!

Interesting. Does that work with the original, longer hold down bolt?

Thanks guys, Is there any way to get the straps?

I just use a piece of flat bar stock with two holes drilled through it as a clamp, in lieu of the cam/dog things. No strap is needed.

Yawp. I am going to mod the bolt one of these days. A bit of flat stock welded on to make it like a big wing nut. Gotta be able to undo it with mittens/gloves on.

Yup, making a bar stock holder-downer has been on my to do list for a while, but then I finally got one of the dogs to hold and stay held, so a case of procrastination has set in.

flat stock, two holes, heat up and bend it up, paint black,
