How is the Spare Tire Attached to a MFI trailer with the basket rack under the bow?

[kthrash]

My new to me 242LS came on a MFI trailer with the basket rack for the spare.. however it did not come with the mounting hardware, if anyone has this trailer / set up can you tell me what parts/pieces are used to secure the tire to the trailer?

There should be a "J-shaped" bolt that goes through that hole and a lug nut holding it tight to the tire (nut on top of tire). The tire sits in like so... (see pic)

I will post a pic of my setup when I get home.

Here you go, top and bottom views. FYI the orange item is a wheel lock.


Of you can't find a similar shaped bolt I suggest you contact mfi directly they are sure to have one and it is probably cheaper than the cost to ship it to you.

Another alternative would be to buy a galvanized bolt from Home Depot and drill the end so you can put a lock through it.
