how to
Can i have your ideas on what is the best way to secure cycle wings to the brackes, Bolts or some type of silicone adhesive, my worry is the bolts
might fracture the fiberglass and i have just painted them so my thoughts are to use some form of sticcy stuff.
Can i have your expert opinions as to which way to go.

I am making up fibreglass bits for my car from scratch right now.
The 'how to' books I have show that you can sandwitch brackets between layers of fibreglass.
So, you could use some fibreglass 'patches' under the mudguard and fibreglass them in place...

btw - this is my opinion - not that or an expert!

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

You could bond a nut into the back of the fibreglass and put the bolt in from below the support bracket.
yours, Pete.

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

Hi I shaped the brackets to the underside of the arches and bonded them with a glue called 'no more nails' then let it dry .
next i fibreglassed over the brackets and glue and when that was dry I sprayed underseal all over the underside of the arches.this will hopfully stop
any stonechips from underneath staring the fibreglass.
all that work and i hope the wings stay on next time I go to Le Mans!
