Re: Rear Spare Tire Mount Attachment Direct to Body?
What I did on my 29 phaeton, which is very similar to a tudor, is use some contact cement, not the water based kind that is crap, but the smelly kind that works and install friction tape on the back of the spare tire bracket. I coat one side of the friction tape with contact cement after fitting it, that goes on the spare tire bracket and apply the contact cement to the spare tire bracket where the tape goes. Then wait until the contact cement glazes over, then put the tape on the bracket. You can't see the friction tape when the bracket is installed, but it prevents the paint from chipping. BTW, I do this in other places to prevent paint chipping.
