Trunk hardware

Be nice to some more original photos and better survivors.
Mine was missing the large wing nut, has damaged threads on the carriage bolt, missing the correct spring and shows no sign of the jack instructions in the trunk. But except for the trunk mat, all the rest including the owner's manual is original! Well not quite - the tire isn't either. Not even the correct size.

Lets put this illustration from the '67 Barracuda Owner's booklet directly in here for ref.

and note that the Barracuda (at least mine) came with an integral hook on the jack. That is,the jack face attaches directly to the bumper.

Agree Mattax, here is a pic of a 1970 dart tv commercial comparing a 340 against a Nova, now I am interested in fixing the trunk but I noticed my spare tire is a diagonal from the 70's 7.35 S 14 and it is too large to fit leveled in the trunk compartment... can you tell what kind of tire do you have that will fit there and allow the flat cover to fit flat in the trunk? It's gotta be a pretty thin tire I guess...
