1998 Civic trunk well/bed HELP
Hey guys, so I recently gutted my trunk down to the metal. My plan is to place the spare tire for the first time into my trunk. After I am making a new trunk board that has hinges to get at the spare tire but will be holding my subwoofer and amp.
The only thing is I dont know if I should leave the spare loose in case it decides to slide or fasten it, if possible. In the trunk (and in pictures) there is a bracket like thing in the center that would seem to hold a rod that holds the tire down. Is that correct? I dont have anything but the tire though...
Look forward to the help. Thanks

It's like a 6" bolt with a big wing nut on the end and a 'washer' that's about 4" in diameter.
In a rollover scenario you want as much bolted down as possible. I think you have to be a in rollover to really understand why though.
