Great job! Can you share some additional details for the ones who will want to do the same? Part numbers, dimensions, etc would be great.


Here is some more info..I think my pics are a little turned around.

I had to do a bit of patch work on the tray to fill in some holes and cuts that were made. I just used Plexiglas, fiber tape, and epoxy.

The tray sits on flanges so the "tub" portion is 26.5" wide and my engine compartment is 29" from brace to brace. I got some 4' steel L-channel (can't think of a better name) and cut them down to 3' (depth of my engine compartment) to run the length of the existing braces on both sides. I got ones wider than the engine brace to decrease the width.

I attached the them using the 2 existing screws for the "permanent" parts of the engine dividers. This brought the width to 27" so there wasn't much play for the tray to slide side to side and fall into the engine. I also used some spacers to push the L-channel out more. I still have access to the removable portion of the engine divider. All the weight actually still sits on the engine braces my L-channels only keep it from sliding.

I also placed commercial strength Velcro along the back bench wall on both sides of the ski pylon to keep it from sliding front to back, but honestly the weight of the cover would hold it too.

Last I just made hole for the cover hinge to attach. I may still cut a slot through the flange so I don't have to pop the hinge off to take the tray out, but really I never need to unless I am doing maintenance in my garage.
