well ive made it now. its been painted and its drying, i ended up moving removing the overflow bottle and achoring the tray off the overflow bottle mounting holes using the original bolts. i then made up a couple of mounts for the overflow to mount closer to the engine, i was worried about it being too close to the extractors but i think it should be fine. If it does melt ill cross that bridge later.

Oh, and i didnt pay for any of the steel i used, so it probably cost me about $4 in mig wire, i already had the $2 black spray paint so that doesnt count :armsup: :armsup: .

ill take a pic of it now and once its in and post them up. Then if anyone really likes it ill see about some plans or instructions or whatever :D
