g-g-g0 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Could some one please provide me with a picture of what the piece that holds the spare tire in place on a '42 model 46S looks like? Tire lays flat and the piece is located in the 7 to 8 o'clock position and has a bolt that goes through it that fastens to the floor and holds the tire in the corner of the trunk. I have some idea as to what it looks like but not sure. Also could use a part number and or inter changeability with other years. Thanks for your help.

Joseph P. Indusi Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Sounds like the bracket on my 1948 Special Sedanet model 46S. I do not have a photo handy but I will check what is left. I think the 1942 item is the same as the 1946-48 for Specials.Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney Eaton Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Not a great picture for detail that I snapped at Springfield this year.....pretty sure it is a 1939 but suspect the same part was used for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-g-g0 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Thanks for the picture Barney. It may be the same bracket but definitely located differently in the '42.Am going to try to take a picture today to show how it is positioned . Would be great if some one with parts books knowledge could tell me what "group" the part is in and then I could determine what years interchange.Thanks,Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvelde Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 It is Group # 7.629 - my book only goes to 1941, so no help on interchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-g-g0 Posted September 15, 2015 Author Share Posted September 15, 2015 Bingo!!! I believe that it is P/N 1293432. Fits the following: 1936-61-66S-68-81; 1937-81-81F; 1941-44-44C-44S-46-46S-49--51C-56-56C-56S--66-66S-71C-76C-76S;1942-44-44C-46-46S-46SSE-49--66S Also H1942-44C-46-46S--49-66S (Don't understand what the "H" prefix prior to 1942 stands for????)1946-47-48-49-46S. So now we have some idea knowledge of interchangeability. Now all I need is a picture of what this thing looks like or better yet some one that has a spare one for sale. Thank you John for your input!! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plyroadking Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Here is a picture of one that was in one of the crates of parts that came with my 1941 46s, it might be a spare but I haven't had the chance to clean the parts out of the trunk yet and see if there is another one in there.

jvelde Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 What is in a '39 Buick Special looks the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvelde Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Here is photo of what's in my '39 Special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-g-g0 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Thanks guys for your input. The ones pictured for a '39 will not work as confirmed by the parts books. I did not get a picture taken today but will do it tomorrow. I think that the hole for the bolt should be more in the middle of the bracket. Will confirm tomorrow.By the way John, love your coupe! I had a Special business coupe in 1957/1958 while in high school. It was a great car! Must say that I screwed it up by putting a '41 dual carb manifold on it. From that time on it ate # 8 pistons about as fast as you could put them in. Seemed to be a cooling issue.

You think a cooling issue caused the problems with #8? Did it run hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph P. Indusi Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 The photo by Plyroadking looks like the one on my 1948 46S. I have been busier than a one armed paper hanger and have not been able to check for a photo of the trunk but willl try very soon.Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-g-g0 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) So finally have a picture. All that I have is a Bolt (Correct One????) screwed into the floor. Joe:Your 1948 46S should have the same bracket as a 1942 46S according to the parts book. When you get that paper hung maybe you could post a picture! Plyroadking: That looks like it might be correct; Thanks, Gary Edited September 17, 2015 by g-g-g0 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-g-g0 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Al, thanks for your thought.I had put in a call to Doug earlier but no response yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-g-g0 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Well folks, some one out there has to have one of the models that I listed above!I am still looking for a picture and or some measurements of what this thing looks like. Certainly appreciate any and all help!Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph P. Indusi Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I will try to post 2 photos. Realize that I have a radial tire in the trunk, so do not pay attention to the black wooden tire wedge under the spare tire hold-down. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-g-g0 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) JoeTHANK YOU for the pictures!! I believe that is the beast I am looking for. Need to compare pictures but believe a BCA member in Illinois has one for sale. Wish the trunk area of my car looked that good!Thanks again to those that have helped on this search.Gary Edited September 23, 2015 by g-g-g0 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_hilmoe Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Just for grins, here is a pic of the one in my '41 56S. This is the way I got the car. Hope the carpet is not hiding a part you want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric W Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Here's a '41 Special I was looking at today. This looks flipped-over but same part as the bracket on JP's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
