Anyone know where I can get one of those brackets someone fabbed to mount a full Campy spare to the ZF? Any information, specs, pics, literature, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Surprised no response here..
I would have loved to see the construction!!!
Oh well ...
I tried phoning and emailing Kirk Evans at Amerisport but there has been no response.
It was a GR-4/GT-4 part, possibly shop-fabricated by individual race teams for Spa, LeMans etc. Those races originally required the car to carry a mounted spare. A 15" x 14" wide spare rear wheel/tire won't fit anywhere else! But with only 14 factory-racing Panteras built 50+ years ago, DeTomaso didn't build those brackets that I know of. So they probably all were a little different. Look for photos of the engine bay of the GR-4s- I know I've seen one somewhere.
Thank you Bosswrench. If anyone has a photo showing the bracket, I would appreciate it.
I have never seen such a thing for a Pantera and many Group4 cars had the 180 exhaust, so no room to carry a spare. A 14" would only work on the rear anyway, so you'd carry a front and live with it on the rear if needed.
