This is what you have to contend with when building an Australian bodied 1933 or 1934 Ford. Notice the block of wood under the Centre Pillar Support, which is the same thickness as the sawn off side side rails, partly visible under the rear door. Folded steel is going to be used instead of the original wood. Also notice that the Centre Pillars on Australian 1933 and 1934 Fords are wider that the USA models. Also, our doors are shorter from top to bottom on account of the thick wooden floor.

This photos shows the correct way to mount spare wheels on 1932-1935 Fords, showing the location of the Valve at the top and the Small Drain Hole to allow trapped water to escape at the bottom. This is how all Spare Wheels were mounted at the Factory by Ford Motor Company.
