Swing-Away Spare Tire Carrier Schematic Drawing - 1986 Ford Bronco (RJM Design)

Mechanical line-drawing schematic of a fabricated fixture or tool assembly shown mounted on a workbench.

AI caption · Photo 67 of 144

This document is an untitled, unlabeled line-art schematic (isometric-style drawing) associated with a swing-away spare tire carrier design, uploaded to a 1986 Ford Bronco gallery under the filename 'tire_carrier_rjm_1.jpg'. The drawing depicts a long horizontal rectangular tube, resembling a rear bumper or crossmember, with two small square receiver-style tube stubs projecting from its face. At the left end, a hinged base bracket is shown with a vertical post rising from it. The post is topped by a circular plate containing three keyhole/slot-style openings, presumably for mounting a spare wheel via its lug pattern. A diagonal coil spring runs from partway up the vertical post down to the hinge area at the base, suggesting a spring-assist or return mechanism for swinging the carrier open and closed. The drawing contains no dimensions, part numbers, torque specifications, text labels, or year/model applicability information of any kind, so a reader can learn only the general geometry and concept of the tire carrier mechanism, not fabrication measurements. Nothing in the drawing contradicts the uploader's claim that it relates to a 1986 Ford Bronco.

Frequently asked questions

What does this schematic show?
It shows a swing-away spare tire carrier concept: a horizontal rectangular tube (bumper/crossmember) with two square receiver stubs, a hinged base bracket, a vertical post topped by a circular wheel-mount plate with three keyhole slots, and a diagonal coil spring between the post and the hinge base.
Does the drawing include dimensions or part numbers?
No. The drawing contains no text at all — no dimensions, part numbers, torque values, or labels.
How does the spare wheel attach in this design?
The circular plate at the top of the vertical post has three keyhole-style slots, which appear intended to engage the wheel's lug studs or mounting hardware.
What is the purpose of the coil spring shown?
The spring runs diagonally from the vertical post to the hinged base, suggesting it assists or controls the swing motion of the carrier arm.
