chartoo Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Hi everyone i got a new project the other day and it came with a standard one peice rear spoiler but this one was just bogged and glued into place really bad. What is the proper way to mount these spoilers? Quote
Mr240z Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Sikaflex is avalable at any good spare parts stores Sikaflex is very strong so make sure you get it right the first time. (very hard to remove) Quote
C.A.R. Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Exactly. As an example, While it's fun I don't recommend it for sticking cats together. Quote
NZeder Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Exactly. As an example, While it's fun I don't recommend it for sticking cats together. but it would be ok on gerbils Quote
PZG302 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Exactly. As an example, While it's fun I don't recommend it for sticking cats together. Why not?? Couldn't think of a better use for cats than to use excess sikaflex on Quote
zzzzed Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ........ha ha ha ha ;D Quote
Toecutter Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Yep Sikalflex. I used it on mine. Sulio Quote
chartoo Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 Really? Mine spoiler is open on the inside so there is no direct area to clue onto...so there is no bottem to glue to the hatch Quote
Scando Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 On mine I screwed a piece of very thin angle steel along the hatch and then screwed the back of the spoiler to the back of the angle steel. I also screwed the front of the spoiler directly to the hatch and doubled up with sikaflex in both places. Quote
zzzzed Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Sulio can i ask what brand your rims are and the size and offset? And where did you get them from? They are exactly whet i have been looking for Quote
stevo_gj Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Do a search on the forums, I got a quote for around $1800 for the venturo's late last year. Quote
Toecutter Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Yer I paid about the $1800 mark but the price did go up as that was about 3 years ago, last time I enquired they wanted $2500. Stevo thats a pretty good price. Was that for the 17's? Anyhow the size is 8.5x17 (-6 I think) and 9.5x17 (-19 I think). Check in the wheels section as it has all details listed there. Cheers, Sulio Quote
stevo_gj Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 Yeah they were 17s but it was through someone I knew. I don't actually know if it was 'mates rates' or if they just offered them cheap. Through a Bridgestone at Enoggera in Brisbane. Quote
chartoo Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 sweet! thanks everyone thats all i need to do it Quote
gilltech Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 My rear spoiler has a pair of aluminium flats cast into the fibreglass, across the base, one near each end, & is screw fixed - the underside of the hatch has a pair of large removable rubber grommets, & these provide access to the pair of self-tapping screws used to secure the spoiler in place.
