    If I'm not mistaken,
    The first two are the bracket for the spare tire mounted on the trunk floor.
    The other two pics are of a steering column bracket to protect the wiring harness.

    On the first one I can agree with Tom that it's for the spare tire hold down as I have a spare one somehow.

    Never seen the second one, or maybe I just haven't looked recently!

    Brad,
    the first one is a side shot of the spare tire hold down.

    To add to that. The spare tire hold down brackets angle (dog leg) like that for hard tops. For convertibles, they are a straight piece. The tire doesn't go in as far back in the trunk because the convertible top rests inside just behind the back seat when down.

    I hear ya.  :iagree:

    I would think there is a way to possibly bolt it in, even is small side tabs where attached/welded to the bracket then bolts to the trunk. With a spare tire in place, nobody would see it anyway. And if painted to match the rest of the trunk, might not look too bad.
