kv6 under tray

[tworodrod]

Hi all question is there a diagram were the fixing screws should be as I came to take mine off this afternoon and it was fixed with self tappers [12) nuts and bolts (5) numerous cable ties and bits of twisted wire on seeing this I ordered a new set of fixings but I want to be sure were they go many thanks Rod

I just had mine off today. Mine was only missing two, with one of them secured with a wire tie.
4 in the front, 2 at the front of the suspension mounts, 2 at the rear of the suspension mounts, and 2 at the tips of the tails at the back.

Thanks very much for that Rich I can see were they go at the front but the previous owner has put that many fixings in I was not sure which were the right ones when my new screws and clips. arrive I will follow what you say many thanks Rod

As Rich says, there should be 10 altogether (4 at the front plus three pairs) - they're all visible in this pic: https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-KRB000380

There are new Polish ones on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-75-...oAAOSwsotamCC3 a local member bought a new undertray recently, possibly same and had to re-adjust some of the holes.

Hampson Composites http://www.hampson-composites.co.uk/pages/home.htm OEM, had some themselves, don't know if they've all gone but I'd contact them first before sourcing elsewhere.

Note the Polish site claims to have sold 230+ of these, perhaps too small a volume for Hampson to be interested.

Do you need one at all?

It keeps the engine bay dry.

They deleted the undertray in later models but having seen the difference the undertray made between my Mk 1 and Mk 2, I would definitely have one. My new "old" car is twenty years old next month but the lower engine bay and ancillary units are pristine. My Mk 2 was six years younger but was showing surface corrosion all over the underside prior to my ownership and subsequent rustproofing.

In my opinion you do, especially if you use the Rover during the winter. I’ve often noticed (felt) compacted snow rubbing against the undertray. Perhaps your roads are better plowed than ours but sometimes driving through a ploughed wall of snow is unavoidable and you can never be quite sure what else is in there.
