Tim,

Thanks for the photos, although as Robert notes, they are of the cast spare wheel/tire bracket, which replaced the short-lived stamped version used initially. The cast bracket and the second version of the gas tank cover shown in your photos were used throughout the rest of '33 model production and all of '34 model production.

In addition to the spare wheel/tire bracket and gas tank cover, I believe that the cross tube beneath the gas tank cover that the spare wheel/tire bracket attaches to also differed.
