Well after 25 years I thought it would be a good time to see if the spare was flat. Guess what it was flat. Your post got me to do it. If you read post say you read it.
The lug wrench is held down by the tire. I have it to the rear, you may be able to see hex end sticking out lower right corner. Missing is the tire cover hold down. It's cone shaped and flat on the bottom. There's a hole to thread on to the stud to hold tire cover down. It has a bar across the top so you can screw it down. I couldn't screw it on spare to wide, it's around someplace. The small hole in picture 3 is a grab hole to raise cover.

Thanks for the pics! I have everything but the cover hold down. Any idea where I can get one?

The one from Year One is probably cheaper, $30 plus shipping. The ebay part is $42.66 plus shipping is crazy $30.25. I'd check shipping from Y one.

That's a want to buy item. 66/67 repo stuff is limited, good luck.

I asked the vendor the diameter of this. It's very similar to the one you need. I might buy one, I know I have one but where? Haven't look through my stuff in 25 years.

I need the same hold down parts for my '66 Belvedere. Glad I clicked on your thread.

The ebay vendor didn't know the diameter, doesn't stock part. He must ship from manufacture or somebody's warehouse? This is another vendor I'm going to call him.

Called above vendor O.D. 2-15/16 to 3" hole in my hold down cover 2-7/8 or so will re-measure soon.

Hole in spare tire cover panel is 2-15/16".

They didn't happen to have another set like yours did they?

I went through his listings nada.
I started this ebay search in April about the 23rd.
"1966 Belvedere spare tire cover hold down" in vintage car and truck parts. This was listed as for a Dart so there's more out there.
I'll keep the search, but won't bid on any. Will post it if there is another on ebay. I'll put this up for sale if I find mine. I have $27.19 in it.

Edit: Might do the search in all categories, one was sold in May $11.17. It was listed as from a Charger.

I found one off a c- body and everything works.Ray at Halifax shops had the round cap.Any wing nut should work

 

[Fran Blacker]

If you what a factory look believe they used stamped steel not the solid ones. Bet you got it cheaper than I.
