My 59 Super 88 is pretty much completed and am now dotting i's and crossing t's. I just painted the bumper jack and want to place it in it's original location? Anybody know where that is? I think the base goes over the spare tire under the wing nut but don't know where the jack itself and lug nut wrench go. Also, where does the sticker with the jacking instructions go?
Any help appreciated!

As you can see, it is carefully placed in the centre of the boot lid.
Care must be taken to ensure a slightly off centre look.

Jack.

Thank you very much! That's the same setup I figured but couldn't confirm until your photos. I noted the care taken with the sticker. If I'm just a little more careless than the factory it might get centered a bit more!
Thank you very much!

This is what it looks like now.

Your welcome.
I know, I have been looking at the photo. Looks brilliant.


I also like the pax fender mirror. I have another original mirror I'd like to put in the same place on mine. Just cannot come to grips with putting holes in the car though.


I have my sticker ready to go, had it for a few years, just pacing myself you know. Cant rush it.

I'll try and drag out the jack and place it the trunk to the best of my recollection and take a photo.

The passenger fender mirror took some thought. I have a really small garage door and really need a mirror for getting in and out. Tried various places on the door but none really worked for good visibility. I also have experienced mirrors getting out of adjustment from the door repeatedly closing. Ultimately decided holes in fender were ok in order to save other body parts from garage door mishaps.

I had my sticker for a few years too. I put it on yesterday, just slightly off center ;-)
