Spare tire and jack question

I know this is stupid but can anyone send me a picture of how the jack fits in the spare tire well. I just got my car back from the body shop and the jack wasn't behind the tire. I looked back there and every spot looks like it will bang against the quarter panel. If you could e-mail me a few pictures I would be gratefull. Thanks,

Sean

jack doesn't go behidn the spare tire, it goes in front of it laying down parallel. there is a nobbie metal thing that fits into a hole in the jack and the screw thing screws through the jack and into the nobbie metal thing. its a pain in the *** to get on right.

That thing is a real hassle. One of those things you take out once and it never goes in the same way rattle free again. In my 88' caprice the place to mount the jack was so crappy i made a new mounting bracket and bolted it in so i would have it rattle ever again.
