Im unsure with how to design a tray that would -under the engine- be *relatively* easy to take off without a lot of skill in bracketing and body.
I haven't read the books but I expect they would be more about how to shape the tray.

I would consider a tab -and-slot arrangement with the tabs facing forward (to resist impacts) so any fasteners would only have to keep it from shifting forward.
