Doc, Could they have deleted it when they changed the floor pan to include the channels?

Maybe. Does Doogie's have the floor channels?
My 68 S didn't have it as far as I remember.

My 68 Cooper S has the channels and no spare wheel mount.

A 66 deluxe (serial no YMA2S2 19516) that I used to own had the exposed hydro pipes and the mount.

So.. do they specify how you do it? If not why not...
If the manufacturer didn't feel the need, there isn't one!:lol:

I guess next they'll defect us because we don't have the 1961 model pre-digested cardboard battery cover on... :lol:
