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

Re: Your Ideal toolkit
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

Re: Your Ideal toolkit
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

Re: Your Ideal toolkit
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.
