I had some really bad bodywork done on my Challenger about 13 years ago. The rear quarters were replaced along with the trunk extensions and outer wheelhousings. The spare tire jack brackets never got reinstalled on the car. I have the car at another shop right now and need to know where to have them place the brackets. Also, a buddy of mine just gave me two of the brackets I need but am still missing one I think. I have the "bucket" that welds to the trunk floor as well as the hoop that the jack spring attaches to. What I don't have is the part that attaches to the outer wheelwell that supports the top of the jack. Does anyone have picures of the jack area that they could post? What is the best way to correctly locate the brackets on the car? Thanks

Thanks, those pictures help. I have the two brackets that are on the trunk floor but the one on the wheelwell is long gone. What is the correct placement of all the parts? Is there a template or something to get everything in the right spot? Is the wheelwell bracket available new or am I going to have to find a used one?
