IML: Wheel Blocking Wedge & jack hold-down spring

[Joe Strickland <jwstrick426@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To the list;

Can anyone provide me the dimensions of the wooden "wheel blocking 
wedge" that was provided with the tire/wheel jack on a '62?  These were 
usually painted black as I remember and were likely the same for 50s and 
60s models.  At some date they probably quit providing these in the 
trunks with the jacks (late '60s or in the '70s?)

Can anyone tell me of a source for the jack hold-down spring that goes 
in the trunk?  Or provide dimensions of the spring with diameter of the 
spring wire used and inner radius of the spring coil.  I would need to 
know the dimensions of the ends of the spring.  That way if I can't 
locate a NOS item or a used one, I could fabricate one myself.  I 
suspect that these were the same for a number of years.

I had to scan in the "jack instructions" from my car and clean up the 
words and illustrations in Adobe Photoshop.  I printed them out on some 
heavy photograph paper.  Next will come re-covering the trim panels in 
the trunk and replacing the trunk floor carpet.
