Thanks Ian! I didn't know the mount slides up. I knew the hole didn't have threads and there is no hole on the
other side. I was afraid I would have to figure out a way to put a pop rivet in.

Thanks again

No problem Daryl, I went into the attic today and unscrewed the spare wheel from the Stony Jeep and took some photos of the screw that holds it in place, actually the screw is a self-tapping screw and cuts its own thread into the plastic piece that clips into the back the screw length is approximately 1 1/2 inches or 38mm from the underside of the head to tip of the screw and the width of the screw is aprox 4mm which is a number 8 self-tapping screw so in basic terms inch and a quarter long number 8 slotted dome headed self tapper but if the thread has pulled the plastic in the connector you could possibly get away with using the next size screw Number 10

Thanks Ian! You went above and beyond for your help.
I greatly appreciate your help.
