ABSTRACT:
The ATRAS (Spanish word for back or behind) Spare Tire Mounting Kit is designed specifically for installation on the rear end of Ford Granada and Mercury Monarch automobiles, years 1975 to 1979, to include both two and four-door models. The primary purpose of the ATRAS Spare Tire Mounting Kit is to increase the usuable interior trunk capacity by as much as 31 percent. This is accomplished by removing the spare tire from the trunk interior and mounting it on the rear of the car.
The ATRAS Spare Tire Mounting Kit is designed for utility, convenience and appearance.
Its unique feature is the integral steel mounting device which is bolted to the rear of the car body in such a manner as to encircle the original gas-filler portal, serving as the protective housing for the 8" curved metal gas-filler extension tube as well as the wheel hub upon which the spare tire is mounted. A studded metal cinch with an ATRAS anti-theft locking device is specifically designed, as are the telescoping bumper extension mountings which conform to all existing safety standards.
