Progress update
Well , I have now taken on board valuable observations / guidance from club members in this thread and completed refit of the undertray.
Quite a few of the fixture locations were in a bad way eg for some reason several of the holes on the undertray were worn thin and almost large enough for the bolt/screw to slip through. The rear two had been dragged along the road at some stage and were of reduced length ! I therefore decided to work thus . Bought :- • M6 chimney nut sets as per daveo138 – post #4 • M6 Stainless steel 30 mm hex flange bolts • M6 20mm Stainless steel washers and neoprene washers • A sheet of 3mm aluminium I then proceeded thus :- 1. First I cut cardboard templates to fit each location on the undertray and marked the hole location on each piece of cardboard 2. Next I cut two sets of square or rectangular plates from the aluminium :-
6. All the old clips were removed and replaced by the chimney clips 7. I then prepared each M6 bolt as per Arctic’s photo at post #10 8. Grabbing a dinitrol wax spray can I thickly covered each chimney clip in situ 9. Supporting the undertray on a number of jacks I raised it and moved to position the undertray holes with the chimney clips. 10. With the hex bolts/washers through each small aluminium plate , I screwed each home and tightened. 11. Finally I sprayed Stone chip protector onto each M6 bolt head ! The undertray is now , really solidly held on . I am particularly pleased with the aluminium ‘washers’ I have in place since they spread the gripping force from the hex bolts over a far larger area than the normal undertray grips / screws do – thereby reducing the chances of localised undertray fracture and spreading the force over a larger area. Anyway , the end product looks / feels pretty solid and combines ideas from a number of fellow club members. Thanks to all. . |

Nice one.
I must get around to repairing and fitting mine. Were the M6x20 screws not long enough? |
