Spare tire hold down plate diameter
« on: February 11, 2020, 06:16:47 PM »
I was marked off for my hold down plate being too big (66 Shelby). What diameter should I be looking for?

The one you need is just a little over 3". Not typically many choices ether 3" or 4". The 3" one is commonly referred to as the deluxe wheel hold down for 65-67.

Thank you Bob!  I’m slowly working through the judging list you and others did on my car in Virginia.
