The wheel well is a storage space for air....no spare....just a cell phone and a few phone numbers for tow companies.
It is a solid piece of wood and it sits about 2" above the old trunk floor.
The board sits on the ledges just inside the trunk at the opening and on angle iron at the back or where the hinges for the pass through door are.
Thanks...the trunks on FB and NB are different for sure. Seems like the notch has way more space inside the trunk. Any level of finish is better than what the factory left....the trunks look unfinished without something in there....at least I felt that way. Especially compared to modern car trunks.:-D
