Hi Jordan, I am guessing but once you have finished cooking breakfast with the cooker it would be quite hot, The wood perhaps insulates it from the tray and the battens insulate the tray from the petrol tank............which you do not want to get hot. Dont know what the cut out is for thow?.
kev.

Ahh yes that would make some sense. As for the cutout, I presume you mean the one in the wooden slat. If so it's to clear the fuel tank vent lines.

Pretty much every tray on the carrier had a thin plywood sheet in it, likely as an anti-wear or anti squeak.

There is no drain hole, at least not in my one.
I have an original tray, the two bits of wood, and the steel plate that screws into the bottom of the wood, if anyone needs any info.

I will post pictures later. On your first photo, I think the buckle would be down the side. Then you would only have to thread the strap through the top two alli loops, as apposed to re threading the whole lot every time.
Just a guess.
