Re: bonnet support and wheels

[Richard Clough]

I had the problem of the bonnet skin separating from the ribs.  Nobody local, even local panel shops, knew what to use.  I tried silicon and it lasted about 2 weeks.  The stuff that was used originally looks like it was some kind of bitumen based adhesive.   The marine fibreglass adhesive may be OK but the bonding agent gets a fair pounding from wind and panel movement.     I finally bought some panel adhesive recommended by a panel shop in Melbourne for about $20 for a 350cc cartridge but didn't get to use it as the offending bonnet hit a tree prior to getting bonded - problem eliminated sort of - and I still don't know if the stuff I bought will provide a permanent repair. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris King To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 15 February 2002 14:22 PM Subject: bonnet support and wheels Hey guys   Does anyone know what kind of silicone (i guess) is used to join the bonnet shell to the bonnet skin.   The guy at auto 1 i spoke with had no idea.     Also is it possible to get a 1600 engineered in sydney with 16 inch wheels or is 15's legally as big as an engineer will let you go?   will 16x7 fit on the front with 240k struts? and will 16x8 fit on the rear without more than lipping the gaurds?     Thanks.   Chris King CMY-510 --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
