That is an awesome little mod. I'll be stealing that idea👍
I'm only 2 or 3 kettles away from being that creepy guy down the street with all the Webers

Wow this is a great mod! I really hate how the old style MT ash catchers wobble around this looks like a great solution.

I'll likely be doing this on my Performer as well.

The pop rivets are aluminum and barely noticeable on the outside ring. The ring basically rests on the bottom of the bowl and the tabs hold it very tight with absolutely no wobble unlike the bar.

I am much cruder than my friend swamprd - I just hose-clamped the ash-ring to the leg-stubs.  A little more visible but not much.  8)
Looking for a RED 26" Kettle & a tabbed no leg RED 22" Kettle near STL. Copper Sam Adams SJ anywhere 8)

I broke off the part of the tabs that sticks into the leg mounts, drilled and pop riveted.  Love the 2015 Ash catcher.
