Spare Wheel / Jack / Wheel Wrench - Storage Method

Can any one help. I have a constant rattle in the boot, which I'm sure if something to do with how the spare and jack / wheel brace are situated. I seem to think the 'long screw' goes through the spare along with the jack / wheel wrench??

Would anyone be able to pop up a photo of how it should be assembled? It's never been right since I bought the car and know it's nothing mechanical.

There should be a shorter metal "rod" which has a screw thread at 1 end and bends 90deg at the top - this bolts through a hole in the jack to secure this to the boot floor - i placed some microfibre cloths underneath to keep the metal jack off the metal boot floor.
The longer bolt with the flat top goes through the centre of the spare wheel to secure this seperate from the jack Thumbs Up

This is how the jack is held down - my 14 plate FL2 came with jack and full spare.



I keep some extra stuff in the wheel space


(edit - I have no idea why these have flipped sideways )

It all fits - just

Perfect thanks everyone for their help. Problem now sorted, jack was not secured in placed, so clearly rattling around!

Being a tad OCD, it certainly won't move again whilst driving! Laughing

Just to confuse the matter, you could put the jack outside the wheel, there is just enough room, & use the space for something useful!
