I went to an exhibition a few months ago, and there was a Morgan chassis there from their new car.
The chassis was ally box section, with triangular plates pop riveted and bonded with some red glue stuff.
I'll post a pic tomorrow when I'm at work.

The Lotus Elise and the latest Jag XJ are glued together - as are many aircraft. Many years ago the rear suspension units on Austin/Morris Princesses
were glued on with superglue.

really? you sure about that?
the princess was a 70s car. I dont think superglue existed then. hydrolastic units on all BL cars ive ever seen have been conventionally mounted.

Superglue (Cyanoacrylate) was discovered in WWII, made into a useful form in 1958 by kodak.
So i'd assume it was available to companies in the 70s, if not the general public.
Also, if you do ever cut yourself, you can use superglue to hold the wound shut pretty well

Fortunately not, mostly ended up using it on cycling injuries that needed stitches.
however, it is great when you cut your hands on sheet metal

Superglue was part of most medical kits during the Viet Nam war. Soldiers used to glue their wounds together in the field.
Midvives currently use it on some female patients for closing tears in the nasty during childbirth.

yep, also works well as a threadlock, is used quite a lot in orthopedic surgery and just to finish off, was used for dentistry quite a bit too.

Here's the chassis pics I was talking about. They aren't actually the morgan chassis, but the chassis of some car-boat thing.
The morgan chassis can just be seen to the left of this pic...
(only just tho).

Sorry to hijack a bit - but....
My lad cut his mouth under his lip a while ago - penetrating right through the skin under his bottom lip. Took him to hospital where is was
"Superglued". I asked the nurse/doctor woman if it was the same as the stuff you could buy over the counter. She stated definately not due
to the increased amount of cyanide in the conventional stuff.
The medical "Superglue" she said is coloured pale blue.

I wonder if that's the truth, or they just say that to stop you going off and squirting cheap un-sterile superglue into yourself.

Hellfire is semi-right on this, the stuff hospitals use is called dermabond and apparently is safe for use on flesh, but is also £70 for a 6 pack or
so.
But still, personally i think it's mostly b0llocks. i've used superglue for a few years now with no adverse affects. i wouldn't
reccomend it unless it's needed, but hell it has to be better than bleeding to death and it's *not* easy to do stitches on yourself.

I had my chin glued together once when i cut it, the frustration was when the doctor hadn't taken his finger off it quick enough(he was apllying
pressure to hold the cut closedx) and his glove got stuck to my face. he had to take his hand out of the glove and cut the tip of the finger that was
attached to my face from the rest of the glove. I had a plaster on it for about a week before the new skin grew through and the end of the rubber
glove fell off.

beware, I've got yellow skin

Aww, I've never been glued 
When I cut my cheek (don't ask) the nurse just used those stick on Bruce Willis strips (as I call them) on me.
I thought the new Jag XJ was rivetted together? I guess it could be glued aswell.
