Anyone have a pic of how the spare is correctly mounted in a '66 Satellite?

Where is your Hardboard cover that the black cup fits into???? Makes a difference.

if you look up in the picture you will see the hardboard, it is off for the picture to show how the tire is held down
 
So the large wing nut is going to poke through the vinyl trunk cover sitting on top of the hardboard hole retainer!! Maybe years differ or A body vs B body.
 
the black recessed cup fit in the hole and then the wingnut goes on. So the wingnut is down below the board, then the mat goes on top

Not 100% sure this right, the tire is a 78 series. Tire is a little to wide to put hard board, cup and wingnut.

DOES ANYBODY REPRODUCE THE CUP. WINGNUT, THREADED ROD ... ? I'M IN THE MARKET FOR A BUMPER JACK BASE PLATE FOR MY 67 IF ANY ONE HAS ONE.
 
I made it out of threaded rod stock, bending it to a J hook and found a large wing nut at the hardware store.
