After the fun of the drive yesterday I removed the tool tray to check all was well. There is a clear witness mark on the drivers side spring and a smaller one on the passenger side. As I was one up with my lithe body on one side this makes sense.

So my thoughts are that the set up is fine.
All the nuts & bolts were also tight.

Whilst I was there I risked using linseed oil to treat the wood. The bottle stayed intact this time.
