there are four screws that belong to the existing plate. You have to drill those holes in the box frame haven't you?
Do you use a regular metal saw to cut the plate? that's a nice kit!

Yes I have, but you don't have to, there's room to fit the box 'inboard' of those screws if you want to. Yes, just a cheap £20 jigsaw with the metal blade that came with it is perfect. Thank you, much appreciated  |

Plenty going on with the FCX 130 electrics but too hush hush to photograph !
Meanwhile, Killer isn't the only one who can paint ....

Fitted the X trouser door catches yesterday.
As advised in the instructions online I may have to pack the spacer out, typically all four of mine needed doing 
Also installed sound proofing in the rear and to the roof, pictures to follow ... The build is progressing slowly, I only get odd weekends to work on it and I'm being meticulous in every detail but I'm finding it fun and learning a fair bit at the same time ! Today's jobs include further Dynamat installing (really helps if you warm the sheets up first) and cutting the rear seat box to accommodate amps |

Sounds like its coming along nicely ! It's better to take your time and do it exactly as you want it, rather than wishing you'd done other things later on ! That's why it took me so long to do mine
 Can't wait to see the finished item An engine to TDi for!
