IML: Bumper Jack Stowage in Trunk - 59 Imperial

[Charles Hansen <hansencw@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The restoration of my '59 Imperial is nearing completion and I'm trying 
to figure out how the bumper jack stores in the trunk. The two brackets 
are in place, but the owner's manual states - " To remove, move the 
control trigger down and release tension on holding spring by operating 
the jack."  (It doesn't explain in detail how to re-stow it.) The 
picture in the manual is not real clear since the spare tire partly 
obstructs the view of the stored jack, but it looks like there might be 
something coming up from the trunk floor that attaches to the jack.

My question: Is the tension holding spring part of the bumper jack or 
is it a separate piece that also attaches to the trunk (floor)?
Can anybody with a '59 tell me how to store the bumper jack (and 
perhaps send me a photo)?

Thanks,
Charlie Hansen
