Spare Tire Lock?

rummaging thru the trunk of my recent acquisition, I found a tire lock for the spare. It is threaded for the spare tire J hook, and works with the Comet's trunk key. except for the fact that it works with the trunk key, and not the ignition key, and not for the trunk key of another Ford I have, I would suspect it is some POS picked up over the years. Any thoughts. I will post a picture tomorrow. It is heavy duty, about 1" by 1" by 3", black, and designed to work with Ford trunk key.

Any suggstions?

 

No idea, but I would be curious to see the picture when you post it.

 

why would anyone want to lock their spare tire in a locked trunk? ...frank...:bananaman :bananaman

then to 1973 "options" and there it is. I guess the little old lady who bought the car was concerned that criminals would break into her trunk, and she would be deprived of a little tiny tire and wheel.

 

Thanks for link,
I agree! Who would bother? I had never even heard of such a thing???

I went a head and copied the picture to save anyone having to go to the link.

 

only other lock i have is the locking gas cap that is original

 

I seen those, they are pretty nice! I have a NOS one, but it doesn't seem to fit the earlier model year Mavericks, I haven't tried it on the 74' yet. :confused:

 

might fit on the 74........if not you could always find a fill tube it does fit and change them

 

That's a good idea, now you have me curious, I am going have to try on the 74' now!
