White spare wheel with X-shaped lug wrench held against tire

I could have installed this lug wrench carrier & tire lock (whose cover I had powdercoated at the same time as the 4-way) on my original '83 (Type 1) swingaway, but it would have required drilling some LARGE holes through some heavy steel. It was much easier to swap this Type 3 swingway on. I've decided not to keep it because a Type 3 holds the tire a few inches higher, so it blocks more of the rear view. And the wrench holder sticks out, so it interferes with my fold-up hitch hauler.
