Could someone show me the stock spare tire configuration?
I know it sits in the tire well, but how does it get fastened down. Also the jack foot, where does it go?

where does the lug wrench go
Taking from ELCAM picture of the "A Coupe & Sedan" the lug wrench is attached to the stalk of the bumper jack with two 3 inch long rubber sleeves. Number 5 in the illustration.

The material reminds me of a heavy duty bicycle inner tube which I have used to make them in the past.
