Guest WallyScott Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 can anyone help me with a diagram of the mount on the inside of the cowl panel to instal the side mount for the spare tyre - what I took off the car was some homemade steel mount which was not the original - can u buy one anywhere?? - thanks in advance - wally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest art s Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hello Wally, On our parts car (28 Model 72 Town Sedan) there is nothing that attaches to the cowl. The dual side mounts come up through the side splash aprons and are solidly bolted to the frame. They look something like a fishing davit. It has a lower clamp that is held down with a large wing nut and also has a clamp at the top that can have a padlock inserted after tightening against the rim. These are for de-mountable rims not wire rims. I suspect the Model 66 would be somewhat similar. Might be able to come up with a picture if you need one.

Guest martylum Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Wally-Perhaps your sidemount top rods are like my 30 Desoto setup. On the CK the horizontal rods go through the side of the cowl and bolt inside to a cast iron plate mounted to the inside of the cowl steel framing. I had some extra castings made of these and other sidemount castings if you need. If you want to see pictures of the castings e-mail me: marty@oldercar.com.Marty lum1930 Desoto CK roadster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WallyScott Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 thank you for the information but the old ones on the 66 are thru the cowl - yes I have de-mountable rims so yours sound as if they would work - I am at the moment putting the running boards on so that is all done beforehand - will get back to you if I need to - regards Wally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
