Fitting stone guard set
carlknight1982 - 22/4/13 at 07:48 PM

I've had a look about and ordered a set of argon fibre stone guards from kit parts direct
What's the best procedure to fit them, rivets or bonding them on?

"Argon Fibre" you say. I bet they're light!

I would bond them personaly, they should be flexible enough you will need to tape them on while the Seal sets. PS are you sure theyre argon and not carbon lol

Damn iphone autocorrect lol

What would you use to bond them?

Bond them on using tiger seal.

Are they any good? I was looking at a set but they seemed too cheap to be decent. I would probably put them on with double sided tape. If you tiger seal them on you will never get them off again if you needed to.

Ill let you know when they arrive tomorow

A little thin but should do the job

I have them on mine. Trimmed the edges a bit.

As you said, bit thin but look ok. I riveted them on with black small rivets.

I've never worked carbon what do I cut it with to get a nice edge

rb968 - 23/4/13 at 07:56 PM

Tbh it's so thin I cut mine easily with a big pair of sharp scissors. No problem.
