I finally (like 6+ years later) got the second plate style stock tire carrier mounted to the 40.
The tub is Aqualu aluminum. I've had the spare tire side on there for quite a while with no problems, although I don't drive the 40 all that often.
Early 40s had left or right side carriers depending on the year, I had hoarded one of each in anticipation of this project.
(I had to make the left side body bracket, it's getting painted and not in the pictures.)
Still need to figure out where to mount the license plate....
