Rear Spare Carrier

The kid and I are mystified. How does the rear spare tire carrier (late 30 coupe) attach in the large hole at the top and what hardware is used?
 
Thanks columbiA but I am still confused. Is it the spare tire bracket stud #2100 that goes in the large (1") top hole in the body? How many bracket stud nuts are needed for the stud and what is the order of assembly? This is probably very easy but I am just not seeing it.
 
A long bolt passes thru the outer panal and brace, and threads into the upper threaded hole in the spare tire bracket. If it is a rumble seat car, you have a square hole in the curved inner panal where you can see the head of that bolt.
 
Do you have the curved bracket which is attached to the underside of the rear inner curved panel?

Here's another picture (courtesy of Marco T. I think) that shows the two required brackets - one attached to the curved inner panel and the other attached to the rear outer panel. The rumble seat models were done this way - not sure if the trunk models used both braces or not.

Randy I am certain all of the body parts are there. I was just unsure about the attachment. I have a trunk.
