Hi, Made three cooker trays, got a drawing from a member on here and borrowed the remains of a canadian tray. The feet i have confirmed are not 10 gauge as in the attached draw but 12g 2.5mm approx. I have also noted the batten with the cut out only has two screws holding it to the tray, the centre one was never there. Also the drawing indicates the four centred tray holes are drainage, this is incorrect as can be seen from the original four n08 1/2" round head screws were used to secure what i think is a 9" square 1/2" plywood. I am unable to determine if a drainage hole was positioned elsewere as the original is a little rusted out.
17 x 7/8" no8 countersunk. 4 x 1/2" no8 roundhead. Thanks to everyone who helped, kev.

Hi Jordan, I am guessing but once you have finished cooking breakfast with the cooker it would be quite hot, The wood perhaps insulates it from the tray and the battens insulate the tray from the petrol tank............which you do not want to get hot. Dont know what the cut out is for thow?.
kev.

Ahh yes that would make some sense. As for the cutout, I presume you mean the one in the wooden slat. If so it's to clear the fuel tank vent lines.
