Description
Spare Tire Hold Down Bracket – 1966–1970 Fairlane & 1968–1971 Torino
The Spare Tire Hold Down Bracket is an OE-style trunk restoration component designed for 1966–1970 Ford Fairlane and 1968–1971 Ford Torino models. This reproduction bracket restores the factory-correct method used to secure the spare tire in the trunk, helping return proper positioning, stability, and original layout to the rear cargo area. It is a critical detail for classic muscle car restoration parts projects focused on authenticity and factory-correct trunk presentation.
From the factory, Ford engineered a dedicated hold down bracket to keep the spare tire properly retained over the trunk floor. Over time, original brackets are often damaged, bent, rusted, or missing altogether due to moisture exposure, trunk floor repairs, or previous restorations. An incorrect or improvised replacement detracts from both appearance and originality. Replacing the bracket restores the correct spare tire retention method as originally designed.
This reproduction spare tire hold down bracket is manufactured from heavy-gauge automotive steel and stamped to OE-style contours and dimensions for accurate fit and appearance. It is finished with a black EDP coating, providing corrosion resistance while maintaining a factory-style look appropriate for trunk applications. The stamping, profile, and mounting geometry closely replicate the original Ford component used during this era.
Designed to integrate with original-style trunk floors and spare tire mounting locations, this bracket supports stock restorations and detail-correct rebuilds where proper spare tire retention and trunk authenticity matter. Its durable construction ensures long-term reliability while preserving the correct factory appearance.
This component is a direct replacement for Ford part number C3AZ-17091-A and is correct for the listed Fairlane and Torino applications.
