clam fixings

Post by BiggestNizzy » Mon May 19, 2008 11:41 am

My front clam is hanging like an 80 year old woman, the biggest problem is the fixings just in front of the doors this is a mismash off captive screws and rawl bolts,

I remembered i got some "big head" fastenings a while back as a free sample.

what would be the best thing to bond them to the inside of the side pods ?

Sikaflex, holds the rest of the car together and its only locating the big-heads.

Failing that 2 pack-sealant (Like the chassis glue) is ace but costs a packet and is a pain to mix.
