I have just found out why they get fitted the wrong way around after carrying out a temporary repair to my plastic tray to tide me over for now.

Whoever cut the trays particularly the edge nearest to the jack handle they cut them short, I discovered this when turning it 180° the part that holds the hook end fouls the frame (I removed this part of the moulding to make it fit)

If they had cut the edges 3/4" to the opposite the way they have on mine the tray would have fitted without this issue and the jack moulding would not impact with any moving parts.

A silly needless mistake.

Quite tempted to fill the void with expanding foam (in a bag) let it go off - then travel with it and let it compress the foam to find the limits of travel of the diff and axle etc

Or maybe just find someone who makes trays.
