[TR] '73 TR6 silly question

[Joe Burlein]

Don't laugh.  I asked this question years ago.   Here are the two emails 
I kept about TR6 tool placement. (another reason to go to a new 
fangled BBS system with search):

I have never found an appropriate place to put the jack
handle in the trunk.   Where did the OEM guy's put it and
how was it wedged to prevent rattling, etc.?

Added note, the cars all seemed to come with these 4 items?

1.  jack - green, blue, black...  in that order '69-'76
2.  jack handle - black, blue, black... in that order '69-'76
3.  lug wrench - black
   OR
  knockoff thingee (was a hammer included?)
4.  tool kit - blue, slightly larger than a pocket protector
  (I have only seen small items here, no real tools)

A couple of cars have the remains of the tool strap, but I can
see no useful way to use it!

If anyone has a better sample of the OEM configuration, especially
the darn jack handle, I'd like to know!

Thanks,
Roger

A brief excursion off of the digest and onto the main list.....

When I bought my first TR 6 (a 74 that I still have) the jack handle was
situated on top of the spare tire lid and underneath the trunk (boot)
carpet.   It remains there and has never been a rattle etc. problem.  The
vinyl tool kit and the folding lug wrench are held by the belt and the
jack
itself fits the corner of the compartment where it can be wedged snug.
