Spare Tire Tools Proper Storage

Hi, new here. Trying to put the spare tire tools in an 89 IROC hatchback back together correctly. Cannister, lugwrench etc.all the bolts and brackets are here, but it was all a jumbled loose mess! Anyone have a nice clear picture of it all put away correctly in the locking compartment? Thanks to anyone willing to take the time!

Hopefully this helps a bit. From the 1987 owner's manual. This one is for the scissor jack. Sorry the reference photo doesn't show much. If you have an aluminum space saver there's a plastic "pillow" that fits in the well under the spare.

I think early F-Bodies came with a flat ratchet jack.

I also keep a 1/2" breaker bar + 3/4" socket in the car. Much easier to remove the lug nuts than the pos that comes with the car.

Cool! Thanks this is a good start. I have a factory steel space saver spare, but a good start!

Forgot to mention that there's a plastic spacer that fits in the bottom of the well under the spare tire.
