Front wing mounting

Hi guys,

Need to fit my front wings.
What would you think of bonding bolts or threads to the wings themselves and then fit these simply with a nut on the other side.

Cheers
Andy

I would expect the vibrations and bumps felt by the wings might need something more than just some basic bonding. Just some round headed bolts straight thru the wings is the norm I believe.

What I did with mine, and it works fine, is to bond them on with Evostick "Sticks like S**t". Give this a couple of days to set, then I cleaned of any excess and glassed over the brackets with a couple of layers of CSM. I have had them like this for a couple of years now and no movement whatsoever. HTH Ray
