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! Regards

Ah I see, I didn't realise it was stuck down I was under the impression that it was screwed down onto a seal. Your way of doing it in that case is probably is the best. Thumbs Up TheThunder RollsπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

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 Bow down

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 Big Cry

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 Shocked

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 Laughing Can't wait to see the finished item Thumbs Up An engine to TDi for!
