The Ford Barn

I am putting another Model A together out of bits I have laying about and it will have a side mounted spare but I've never taken a close look at how the bracket is attached to the chassis. It almost looks as though it uses the same bolts as the engine mount to chassis but longer. There are no holes in the chassis already that look anything like close. Does anybody have a picture or even measurements and a description if the engine mounting bolts are not the ones please?

Thank you all.

Feel along the side of the frame rails.You will find three dimples where the holes are to be drilled.I can't remember if there is a dimple for the big hole in the middle or not.That would be for the 30-31 sidemount only anyway.You didn't say what year you are working on.28-29 have the same 3 bolt pattern,but no big hole for the arm to go through.
