fitting rear fibreglass panel
whats the best and most unobtrusive way to fit the fibreglass rear panel?
My car only has the chassis running round the bottom part of the panel and at the top there are only 2 small tubes.
Any good ideas anyone??

Not necessarily the best or most unobtrusive... but I nailed the rear panel on with a row of M6's into Rivnuts up the rear angled 19mm box section.
All of the screw heads are covered by the arch. The top of the panel just locates on the short tubes. I've added a photo in Cairb - rear side view
not showing the screw heads.

Just dragged this out with a search. I am about to fit the rear fibre glass panel and was looking for some ideas.
Cairb, your photo seems to have gone from the photos archive.

I bolted my rear panel through the 1/2" box tube that goes down to the bottom rail at back,i also drilled and self tapped the bottom to that
rail.
While i was doing this i decided to fit ally sheet to underside of tank too,makes a nice naet job of it all IMO.
When i get a digi cam here again i'll post some pics of it.
Ah nearly forgot,i glued and self tapped the top of rear panel where the short tubes poke out.Screw is now hidden by boot lid,rear arches hide the
bolts that fix rear panel at sides
hope this helps
