Under tray fixing

The under tray is made of aluminium sheet and fits beneath the radiator and into the lower area of the nose.

I had to make sure that the tray avoided the 'oil cooler air intake'. It locates below this intake on the inside of the nose and is fixed to the lower radiator mounting points. It should be a tight push fit. Two holes were marked on the under tray and drilled to allow the lower radiator mounting bolts to be used. The holes had to be slotted a little to allow the bolts to be fitted. What a faffy job to get the bolts back in place, as my radiator and the mounting holes do not line up perfectly!

Next the two side fixing brackets (bent pieces of aluminium) were marked and four holes drilled in each to take 5mm button head bolts with nylocs. The holes were drilled in the brackets so that two went through to the tray and two through the inner wing. Because I did not want to remove the radiator bolts again, the drilling was an awkward job and required the 90 degree drill attachment, but now it is done I am happy with it.
