Does any one have a picture of how the brass tire carrier for the running board mounts.

Here is one way to install. The twin brackets fitted to a board, painted to match body, with the board bolted to the existing running board bolts.

Each bracket holds a tire at the base with a leather strap.

Dual leather straps above hold the two tires together.

The longer bracket for the upper cradles a tire, the long male spade portion is mounted to the dash.
