If you haven't already decided to do so, consider installing pop-nuts in the chassis and use screws instead of pop-rivets to mount the tub. I did that and it is easy to remove if needed.

Btw. I also cut a slit to the side from the hole where the speedo cable comes through. That way I do not have to pull the cable to get the tub out.

Terry
I have a Rivnut gun and the nuts if you want to borrow them . I can leave the kit at my brothers house.
BTW it is a better solution than pop rivets and the one I was going to go with based on some one else's suggestion.

Looking at the tub I had prepared it was evident something was amiss! I checked the other tub and found two plates riveted to the underside. I have removed, repaired the almost missing nut and treated and am preparing to rivet onto the new tub. I am assuming that these must be for some kind of bracket to secure the battery? is it a standard type with two rods and a clamp going over the top of the battery along one side, as the front of the battery has a lower lip to hold it in place.

I started off by carefully drilling out the rivets for the lifting bracket and the adjusters! Then offering up the backing plate to see where to begin. I then marked off how much of the plate to cut off. I wanted to remove as little metal as possible!

The bottom of the plate is flat so this was used as a guide. After several cuts (I didn't want to do too much at once in case I removed too much) I offered it up and temporarily fitted it.
