Default Jack Storage '73 Coupe

Does anyone have a photo of how to properly stow and secure the Jack and Jack handle. I have all parts...Jack, handle, grommet and spring, but haven't figured out how to secure them without something rattling.

Thanks in advance.

Here is the jack stored in my 73.
I made sure that the handle was under the
jack securely and wrapped with paper towel.
Hope the photos help.

Sometimes you might need to raise the jack a little to put more tension on the spring. Not putting something under it, just turning the bolt to lift it up a bit.
