Which Sikaflex?
HappyFather - 15/8/13 at 04:03 PM

Hello!

I need to buy Sikaflex to hold my front wings and a couple other similar bodywork jobs.
Was looking and Sikaflex has several different types of product defined with a number.

When the collective here refers to "Sikaflex" for the bodywork, which specific Sikaflex reference are you talking about?

Such a n00b question, I wonder how I got this far on the build...

Thank you all! Kind regards,
HappyFather

For my panels I used this as it was easily available from screwfix etc.

I also used it seal up a dodgy engine mount on my clio that was slowly falling apart. Worked very well.

Previsously I had also used sika 221 for firming up standard engine mounts on my old Nova 2.0 16v

Tigerseal is also widely used, but never tried it myself.

+1 I used this (not much) to hold my front wings on and it works a treat (no horrible bolts )

Thank you all for the answers!

I'll look around for either Sikaflex 221 or Tiger Seal. Let's hope I find one of them, otherwise I'll have to order from eBay.

Cheers!
