Yes, I mean the fiber board cover. I think that this changed over the years; my
67 has the clips, but photos from earlier cars seem not to have them, and the
factory parts manual doesn't mention them, either! (And my factory book shows a
"stepped" spare tire cover, a la the TR250/TR5, which is kind of strange in
itself.)
I was surprised to learn a while ago that some 4As shipped with pillar jacks
(TR4-style) instead of scissors jacks; that might have something to do with the
differing arrangements.
