Does they bottom bolt of the Y carrier use 2849D. If it does or does not, what should it look like?
What holds the tire in place on the bottom of the Y carrier? picture would help. Thank you.

Here you are:
And you can add a padlock to the clamp to prevent rim and tire theft

He was asking about a "Y" carrier - mine has just has a stud - either goes into the rim tab or into one of the wire wheel holes.

So 2839D and a Y carrier have nothing in common.

Missed that, was thinking only of the 2849D clincher 30" tire clamp used 1921 to 1925.
The Y bracket is for the '26-'27 mounts that are on the body. The Y 2873 is for balloon tires, 21".
The lower stud fits to a rim lug nut to secure the rim and tire. There is a flanged rim nut with holes to also chain the tire and rim with a padlock
