when bolting on front wings......

[emu]

.....should there be anything between the wing and the mounting rail??

 

rubber strip? seam sealer? last tuesdays copy of the sun?

 

I want to be able to take them off again easily enough which is making me think not seam sealer perhaps?

 

Im just concerned abiout any moisture getting in a rotting it out again?? Or am I better off just bolting them face-to-face so that wetness can escape?

I'd bolt them together bare but caked in grease.

[lee_capri]

use some mastic work's for me then wipe up when finshed bolten it all on

[BIG G]

just paint both surfaces thats all ive done. your get them stuck with seam sealer

[emu]

They are painted at the moment because ive been spraying the car in bits

 

I did think sealer or mastic would just bond them on which was putting me off. Lots of grease sounds like a plan

[Tom]

how about a thick coat of seam sealer on each surface but let it dry. and use rubber washers in between the wing and rail where the bolt goes through to stop it scratching the sealer off?

[Toby]

Wax oil?

[Rick]

doesnt really matter as long as you seal all the joins afterwards with tigerseal/sikaflex

 

i think we sandwiched seam selaer between also on mine but i honestly cant remember now... its been a while
