My Hornet is jacked up

Nearing the end of resto, I cannot figure out how to store the jack parts in the trunk of my 53 Hornet.  It was not installed in the car when I bought it.  If anyone can send close-up picks of the proper storage Id appreciate it.  I know that the bracket that holds the jack shaft goes on the rearward outer bolt securing the spare tire bracket, but that's all I'm sure of.  I have no idea how to store the jack base, and I have no hardware to secure the wheel to the bracket.  Help, please!

  • Dave I have the bolt and wheel plate.
  • Thanks, Lance.  Pics, anyone?  Lance, do you have pics of these parts?
  • Dave the attached pictures should provide you with the information you need.   The jack base and the jack handle go under the jack when it is pushed into the bracket.
  • I would like to see the correct set-up for the 48-51.. Anyone have pics?
  • On my 54 the base for the jack is in a small burlap bag sitting behind the tire.  Is the burlap bag standard or just a previous owners idea?


  • Thanks to all.  A close-up pic to really see how the jack, base and handle are arranged would be great.  Lance, please email me a price for the bolt and plate to dcbabydrhet@gmail.com, drop het.  If the price is right I may take you up on it!

    Yes the bag was original. I made the mistake of trying to wash mine. it practically dissolved!
