Does anyone recognize this spare tire holder? The clip on the bottom fell off and I need replace it.
Thanks,
Rod

Re: Spare Tire Bracket
This is the most common factory carrier. Missing the carriage bolt stud & the locking plate.

Re: Spare Tire Bracket
I happen to have the same carrier. One of the lugs on my Hayes rim goes at the bottom and the carriage bolt takes a lug nut to hold the rim in place. For a rim without lugs, I gather you'll need a spare lug and nut to go on the bolt.
The inevitable often happens.

Re: Spare Tire Bracket
The way you have the spare mounted is not correct. The rim lug doesn't attach to the lower bracket. You are missing the clamp #2849D.Steve Jelf wrote: ↑Fri Jul 18, 2025 5:15 pmI happen to have the same carrier.

The rim should be rotated 45 degrees. The clamp is held by a lug nut. The upper part of the clamp has a hole & slot for a padlock.
You don't need to take my word for it. Look @ factory photos.

Re: Spare Tire Bracket
The parts you need are on this page from Lang’s. The bolt, clamp and nut. https://www.modeltford.com/pl.aspx?t=s& ... amp&page=1
This should give you an idea of what parts you need for your spare tire bracket.
