Are you planning to run your mounting bolts all the way to the interior or just attach the flange to the plywood? If the former I wouldn't worry about back-filling with the spray foam. If the latter you'll probably want it for the extra stability, but I wouldn't spray the foam until after you've re-installed and secured the top. Make sure you put some weight on it, you'd be surprised the pushing power that stuff has as it expands and cures.
I`m planning on mounting the bolts all the way to the interior. I just don't want to put the top over the plywood and leaving a gap...not that it would likely affect the stability, i just want to make sure that the top remains solid all over. Perhaps if I simply add a second plywood over and cut it in a way that would fill the gap....

Looking good Gabrew
Welcome to the board.
I like the idea of cutting a board to fill in the void....maybe some pink insulation cut to size might be an easier application or a expanding insulation trim to fit?

I have a salton I am part way through converting. This thread has been extremely helpful so far, but I have a question:
I have ground down the 'ridges' as the OP did, which exposes the foam that is under the plastic. Do I need to worry about covering/sealing this exposed area?
Thanks,
Walter.
