Pic Request: Those of You with the Space Saver Spare Option from the Factory

For those of you with the Space Saver Spare option, could you take a picture of the strap that holds the spare tire in place in the trunk area? I am specifically interested in how the strap bolts to each side of the spare tire storage area. After looking at my own X7 and some online parts diagrams, I have a basic idea of how it looks/works as there should be some heavy duty bolts that screw through the grey carpet material into the sheet metal underneath. But a close-up picture of where the strap bolts to the X7 would help a lot, including one with the carpet pulled back slightly to see exactly how the strap bolts to the sheet metal.

I am in the final stages of putting together a space saver spare retro-fit for my X7 since it did not come with the Space Saver Spare option. My retrofit solution will be a combination of OEM parts and aftermarket parts. When I am done, I will post a thread about what I did, including the differences between what I plan to do vs a full blown OEM retrofit. The strap may not be absolutely necessary, but it seems relatively easy to integrate, the parts are not that expensive, and it does provide some extra safety/security by keeping the spare tire better secured from movement in the trunk storage area.

Thanks!
