Fitting skirts
« on: August 07, 2012, 03:09:31 am »
After reading loads of posts am not sure what is the best method some say screws some say bond.

Anyone here actually done this am thinking of using the support brackets and screw in each arch and then bonding instead of screwing the 18 hex bolts in?

Any ideas? Is the fit just as good with te bonding method?

If it was down to me i would do exactly what you said, screw in each arch and then bond.. maybe a couple of screws along the line to make sure!
