What did you do to your Fiesta ST today ?

Isn't there 3 bolts for the tray? Or do you have an aftermarket tray?

I'm about to get in there and find out. The whole box moves forward and backwards pretty excessively so something is up.

Good luck, keep us posted

Aftermarket tray, It's for the AWR 88A mount. And it is toast. One bolt was missing and it was sliding around like crazy. Wasn't moving like this before the event when I did my checks. Not the worst outcome, but it was absolutely sliding around and with the short shifter it was within reach easily to bump it from 2nd to neutral during hard left hand turn braking. I contacted AWR to see if they carry extras I can order. Though I'm sort of just tempted to relocate the battery to the back now.

Well shit not what I expected, how are the threads on the mount? I'm sure you can grab a bolt and washer from ACE if AWR doesn't come through...

I took some extra hardware and bolted it back together for daily driving. It doesn't move anymore, but there is a lot of weight sitting on that bracket with only 2 bolts holding it to the mount. It holds the battery, all the wire harness and the whoosh intake. So I'm not surprised it had eventually failed.

I guess it's time to upgrade to a lighter battery lol, but you are right they have a bunch of shit bolted to that mount
