Airbox glue / sealant
Hi,
A number of you guys are running original bike airboxes but cut down to fit. What are you guys using to glue the airbox back together after
you've hacked it about?
Cheers
Jim

I've noticed Loctite now market a "hard plastics" adhesive. Haven't tried it myself as yet but might be worth a look.

As part of my very short welding course I was introduced to plastic welding and assumed thats what was being used.
I thought Sikaflex would be a bit too........ flexible.

I rivetted and glassed mine to seal it.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

What about using a hot glue gun? Could get messy if you're not careful but sets nicely when cold with a slight amount of flex, and can fill gaps
quite well.
