Yes I have these brackets to mine is a HUM did not know that there is also a lid for the tray, I only have the bottom part of the tray.
The tray makes sense though for easy access...

Hi

Be careful of the coil bolt length the hole go all the way through into the valve push rod passage. Seen two problems, 1st actually hitting the push rod, 2nd oil leaking around the threads of the bolt.

Keep up the great detailed work.

Cheers Phil
