35-36 Spare Tire Mount Questions
I am trying to decide if not I will use a spare tire mount on my 35 coupe. I dont have one as of yet but I have a question on its installation. Does it take some kind of special studs/bolts to hold the mount off the body? My body isnt flush with the bracket underneath and it doesnt look like its suppose to be either. So I was thinking it make take some kind of studs to hold the mount off the body?
thanks! |

Re: 35-36 Spare Tire Mount Questions
Uptown83-
Ford made three different types of carriers for '35 (48-1433-A/B/C). The difference is related to the body type. It might be possible that you have the wrong carrier for your coupe. As for mounting studs, there are none. The carrier attaches to the body with 3/8"-24 bolts. Between the carrier bolt hole and the body there is a 1/8" gasket about the size of a quarter. Hope this helps. Tom |

Re: 35-36 Spare Tire Mount Questions
So the bracket underneath the body skin should be tight against the body?

Re: 35-36 Spare Tire Mount Questions
It should be tight, yes.Mine is on my 36 coupe.What you might do is make a spacer that will slip in between the skin and inner bracket so that area won't dip in when you tighten the spare bracket down.

Re: 35-36 Spare Tire Mount Questions
This was my great uncle's car. It came from California . I have a few other cars but I thought I would stop and knock this one out real fast. It had a lot more rust than I imagined and has become a task so far. My brother went out to california to pick this car up about 15 years ago. No one wanted it in my family so I took it in. My brother and dad are Model A guys.

Re: 35-36 Spare Tire Mount Questions
Actually, the flat-back sedan/phaeton bracket is slightly convex, not straight.

Re: 35-36 Spare Tire Mount Questions
I don't know anything about the bumper gaurds or the hood. I wasn't going to put them back. I thought it was weird having the smooth hood sides being the car was last driven in the 70s

Re: 35-36 Spare Tire Mount Questions
VeryTangled-
I am not so sure the above information is totally correct. Reading from the "Ford Chassis Parts List - June 1937" (pg. 5), three different tire carriers are listed for '35s: 48-1433-A (models - 700, 730, 740, 750); 48-1433-B (models - 710, 720, 760, 770); 48-1433-C (model - 790).

Re: 35-36 Spare Tire Mount Questions
There was also another spare tyre bracket for the 35 Australian roadster utility.
Uptown, go the distance and find the right mount. Check out some 5window hotrods that don't have a spare tyre......... ??? my2c. |

Re: 35-36 Spare Tire Mount Questions
For the 35 spare mount, you can find the part number embossed into the cast iron on the inside of the mount including the suffix letter. I believe there is no rubber or insulation between the body and the mount but My car had thin frame type insulation between the inner mount and the body about 1/16 inch thick cloth or felt. There should not be a wide gap between the body and the inner mount.

Re: 35-36 Spare Tire Mount Questions
Two of my all original '35 flat back/slant back sedans have thin fiber washers (~1/16" thk or less) between the spare tire mount/casting and the body. These cars had never been apart before I got them so I am sure they came from the factory that way.

Re: 35-36 Spare Tire Mount Questions
Yes I am interested in selling them when I find some originals to replace them with. I havent examined it very well but im curious to see whether the top is original or aftermarket also.

It had been on the same farm out the back of here since new,it got unreliable so the farmer said ,so they dozed it into the creek and burned it,floods went over as well, It gave up a good crank and block,wiper motor and the spare mount,that was about it, Lawrie |
