Russ, that's a really great idea with the middle light strapped to the top of the spare tire !

Did you make the mount from scratch, or use the mount for sidemount spare tire for the basis ?


Thanks for sharing !

That looks like a nice neat job. Looks good.

I used a license plate bracket.

Special Coupe Frank #21 My #3 son makes medieval armor, he knocked out the mount in short order from templates that I made. I can take and post photos and measurements if someone would want.

That'd be swell if you have the time.

I had mine fastened with belts to the spare tire, but it kept moving due to road vibration. I moved it to the back of the trunk top, fastened it with screws and now it stays put. When the trunk is opened it moves with the trunk top so no problem. Also, the wire does not go through the spare tire spokes now.

Frank post #25 I finally got a few moments to get out to the garage and take some photos. In the last photo the red wire goes to ground on the body, the other 2 wires are soldered together and connect into the right hand brake light wire. The radius's on the vertical were made with a tuna can. The belts were $4 at Wally's. Russ

If it moves around like in post #25 you could glue cork or rubber to the bracket? to keep it in place.

I snugged it up nice and tight with velcro and covered that up with leather belts.
