Need angle measurement from an interior tire mount.
 
I'm going to try to make a functional interior tire mount with tubing. I could use the angle that the stock one tilts towards the rear. Thanks.

Hey Roy - I have one that I have not installed yet. I'm in Highlands Ranch if you want to come by and take measurements or you can PM me your number and I'm happy to take pics with measurements and text them.

Hey Chad, appreciate your help. I think all I would need is a few measurements and I can figure out the angle. length of the base front to back, length of the upper support and the measurement from the top of the upper support to the rear point of the base. A triangle if you will. I suspect it runs parallel to the backrest of the back seat.

Got some pictures, but they are way too big to post. Spent half an hour trying to figure out how to shrink them with no luck.

I can email or text them if that will work.

I prefer email. I'll send you my email. Took my Jimmy out on his first long trip, 200 miles today. That 71 invader 350 runs like a champ.

They should be in your inbox. Jealous that you took a drive. I have a '70 Jimmy that is on a rotisserie at the body shop. Hoping to get it painted and back in the garage in the next couple of weeks, then the reassembly fun starts!

Being retired, the Jimmy has been keeping me busy during this covid crap, from welding, bodywork, electrical and mechanicals. Paint is the next step. If you don't mind sharing, who is doing your paint? Thanks again for the photo's and measurements!
