So much for my glassing!

Nearly 2500 miles and nothing has fallen off - it was bound to happen sooner or later!
Will have to make sure I thoroughly rough up the underside of the next set of arches that I fit!

Unlucky fella. Is there any way to stop the damned things breaking off!.
If it isin't the bracket its the wing itself

We've lost 2 in about 3k miles both due to welds on our adaptations of the brackets fatigueing

Are those tyres Avon A539s?

I think that is exactly what my wheel arches will look like after a couple of thousand miles, as i have fixed them in exactly the same way, and have the same tyres!

2500 miles isnt bad really for a locost. How long did it take you to do that?

Used P40 on the brackets, left the arches on over night, then glasses over on the back of the bracket with 2 sheets with the weave layed at 45 degrees to each other.
Yep, A539's and 2500 miles since last August - and car's been off road since December!
Will be Sikaflexing my next car when it's finished!

To stick grp to grp or owt else really the raw face has to be roughed up and cleaned with summat like acetone to "kill" the wax or it won't stick when you want it to.......but stick like hell when you want it to come off!!!!
