The rain tray on my early '73 was cracked, hanging down, and missing most hardware. I have a new fibeglass tray from Mark but the parts catalog seems to only show the late tray mounting. Did the early tray have any kind of spacers to increase the gap between the tray and the lid at the rear edge? Should the straps at the front hold the tray tight against the lid's bracing?
Thanks for any info you can provide. Nick |

I think there were two or three brackets that went between the tray and the lid. They were simple brackets with a 90 degree bend and an attaching hole. Maybe someone can post a picture.

Mark at 914 rubber provided three new L-shaped brackets with the tray. The old ones are still on the car but so bent up I couldn't tell what shape they were orginally. I'm assuming the new ones are the correct shape.
Should there be spacers between the tray and the lid on the two back screws? I'm thinking some rubber washers might be good to protect the fiberglass tray from vibration. Nck |
