Rear Boot Lid Fixing

I have made some 'L' brackets to attach to the rear panel to support the deck lid... I was thinking of using tiger panel adhesive or similar to hold them in place to the fibre glass rear panel... Will this be strong enough or should I glass fibre them in place?

With the L brackets I would think that you might put undue pressure on the rear panel if you/someone leans heavily on the boot panel? May be better to fix something between the top rear tube and the top bulkhead rail, if that makes sense?

I'd agree with that, they do make handy places to put things (tool box etc.) and it does make a nice place to sit, I'd have it nice and strong

AS said i wouldnt mount it to the rear panel. Could crack under vibrations aswell.
