Just a quick one - my undertray has come loose at the rear fixed points, so it drags along the ground or close enough to it that I can occassionally hear it. It is otherwise in good condition and not ripped/broken.

I can find the two holes used for holding in the under tray and they are in good condition - just wondering what I can use to fix the undertray back in position? I am going to have a crack at it tomorrow, so any ideas before my trial and error approach would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks. That was my first thought. I ended up using a large washer and nut and bolt and it seems pretty secure.

My JTS has on the body, tapped speed nuts and nut rivets which are installed like a rivet, with a big rivet gun, and they have a thread in its bore, but due to Alfa's bizzare quality control or someone loosing the originals there were a mixture of countersunk screws and torque screws and cap screws, which it meant that i needed 3 fastener tools to take off the undertray, so i converted to good old cap screws, so that i only need one allen key to remove and install it, TIP, if it starts dragging on the ground, cable tie it up until you have time to fix it otherwise it will wear itself out and you will have to replace the worn out sections, not that it happened to me......., Colin.
