OZ001 Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 instead of using the pegasus zg flare kit, is there anything else that can replace it?? and no pop rivets =P Quote
Toecutter Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Yer you can get steel flares that are welded on. Look up member NZEDERS gallery. Sulio Quote
OZ001 Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 nah steel ones wont do it for me.. im after the fibreglass zg flares but cant get any kits to bolt them on.. im just asking is there another way Quote
zedevan Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 the front ones can be held on by a nut and bolt, but as you can't get to the back to hold the nut on the rear up near the top you need the rivet nutserts. there are people who just use self tapping screws to hold them on, i think Rev is one of them, and sulio did this for a bit too?

Add Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 I think over at MSA they are going to if not already relase a new type of ZG's that dont have the bolts/studs showing if that makes sense. Imagine ZG's without the bolt spots, smooth all way around. Some of the ppl over at hybridz were talking about them. I'm not sure what to think of them, in both aspects of how they look (may grow on me) and how they are fitted (perhaps moulded in bolts). Otherwise if you want fiberglass blend some to the body or go steel (alot more durable). Heres a link to the page with the page (lol). Its at the bottom http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=136544 Quote
Mr Camouflage Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Nissan pop riveted them on, so I don't see the problem with using pop rivets, apart from making it difficult to remove them. Quote
Hunter Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Once they are on you want them to stay on... Quote
sco_aus Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 I'm just going to screw them on the rear, but mostly due to the way my guards were welded back together, they come down on a sharp angle together, so there is no room on the inside for a nutsert. If you go to not and bolt specialists (eg. specialty fasteners here in Canberra), they usually have fancy looking screws/bolts that will match whatever you use for the front and a lot cheaper than going to Repco and buying one of those small packs for $6 for 4 compared to $6 for all of them.

reverendzed Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 I went to Bunnings got some great black hex head self tappers with 'Z' on the head, can't beat that. (cost me $5.00 for enough for 4 flares!) Quote
