Yes there is a multi-part tray under the engine, collects liquid spills, deadens road noise and forces air flow up thru the engine compartment. See here http://www.lushprojects.com/bongopartsm ... mgno=.html

Thanks Geoff and Bob. Nope nothing like that at all when I tilt the seats back I can see straight down to the road and i've been underneath it enough in the last few months to know I've not got anything like that. I'm a bit concerned with your comment regarding assisting with the cooling otherwise I've lived without it so far and thought I didn't need it I was going to carry on but if it helps in the cooling then I best get searching. Problem is I'm now eating into my bodywork budget :( :(

Lots of Bongos run without the tray, but it does serve an important purpose, as shown in the diagram on Steve Widdowson's post: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36433&p=385304&hilit=Tray#p385304

I think its much better to have a tray. Aa well as sound deadened and protecting gear from road water and grit and (if diesel) being somewhere you can rest a container and rag to catch drips from a leaky fuel injector (been there done that!), it acts as a venturi i suspect to pull air through the engine compartment and/or promote a chimney effect when stationary, pulling in cooler air as hot air rises

Thanks for that link Geoff, from that pic it seems that there are three parts to the tray. I don't have any of them.

Anybody got any thoughts on where I could source these? Bongospares don't seem to list them but I guess worth a call but money is running out quickly now and still need the rear wheel arches doing :(

Certainly worth a call to Bongo Spares.

I guess they don't list every part, particularly bits that don't sell often. :)
