C3 Spare Tire Hardware Question
All, I'm normally in the C2 section but I'm looking for a spare tire bolt solution for my
C2. My spare tire and rim are wider than what GM supplied with my '64 coupe. I was thinking
maybe GM may have supplied longer hardware for the C3s since they had wider
rubber from the factory for the most part. My stock 'A-Frame' (my term) pivot bolts are
9" overall, with 1" of threaded shank. My lock bolt is 6-3/4" long. I'm hoping
for my bolts to be approximately 2" longer than my 64 stock hardware. Did any of the C3s
have this longer hardware? I'll hang up hopefully someone will have an idea. Thanks in advance.
