Finally received the very last item from Steam Traction World to finish my Lykamobile Series 2. Not that the red burner was an eyesore, and actually it did kind of fit in with my paint scheme, I'm glad to finally get it installed.
Well, the instructions from STW say to screw the wooden wedges from the inside surface of the rear panel, this would necessitate me taking apart my rear brake light and license plate bracket. I didn't think it matters much which way you screw the wooden wedges onto the surface of the rear panel, so I opted to use some small pan head screws. Now mind you the rear panel is thin, and this may pose a problem if there isn't enough "bite" to keep the wedges secure by the wood screws. But I really believe it will be just fine. If it does become I problem, I can always screw them onto the rear panel per STW's instructions.
The first task is to mount the right wooden wedge along the edge of the right side of the cut-out for the burner. I temporarily used some C-Clamps for positioning.
Before securing this piece to the rear panel, I went ahead and temporarily mounted all of the wooden wedges to see how these pieces fit up.
All the pieces are now screwed into the rear panel which allows me the ability to see how well the basket align with the wooden wedges. What I discovered is that the basket (being handmade) is not exactly square and actually is about 1 inch narrower at the bottom. Therefor I realigned the pieces to better match up to the basket.
The right-side piece I moved over to better align with the basket.
I also sanded down the edge some to better fit the angle.
All repositioned.
I loosely placed the basket in its final position before drilling the mounting holes for the metal bracket.
All mounted up, the next step will be to take it all apart and paint the wooden wedges and metal bracket black and do a final assembly.
