I have some of the original ford spare tire hold down J hook bolts , with wing nuts and even the small circular retainer plates from various mustangs.
I dont know what yours is supposed o look like , but If you can provide a pic or measurements of the style correct for your car , I can see if I have one for you

This is a picture of the special J bolt for space saver . It is designated as "C" in the quad. The 70 Boss 302 is B in the quad. It is from Scott Fullers Reproductions  You might check with him to see if he has any more. If not I may have a extra I keep as a spare so check with Scott first.

The '70 BOSS 302 appears to be the "B" version, not the "C" version stated in the previous post.

It is my understanding that the Boss , Mustangs and Shelby?s all used the same SS hook. If I am wrong about the Boss usage then excuse me. The C version is the typical SS hook. You can contact Scott Fuller for more info.

My comment is based on the photos posted above which indicate "B" for a '70 B302.

I've only owned two '70 B302s, but both had the type "B".


My cars were both Dearborn-built.

Thank you for pointing out the the B example in the quad picture is correct for 70 Boss 302. On Scott Fullers website confirms application. The C version is correct for space saver equipped 69 and 70 Shelby Space Saver which I am more acquainted with and my field of interest.
