How much work had to be done to the core support for the spacers? That was the only part I was iffy about.

It took less than 5 min. Drill the hole out slightly. Insert fitting with tool that has threads. The screw holds into the aluminum bar now with spacers. Very easy.

Here are some pics. (not of the tray)20160906_154557.jpg

I like the hex mesh that you use. Is that from customcargrills.com ?

Yes. Ordered through Amazon

Excellent stuff. Used zip ties to hold and Goop to glue the mesh to the inside.

Note that there is a 10 row, 20" wide second oil cooler (first is a 34 row from Z1) behind the lower opening.
