Mine are chopped right back so they are bonded on using Tiger Bond just but some big blob's along in about 5 to 6 places that way you can get them off if you ever need to.

As above, but after 15 to 20 odd years the solvent has deformed the kit a bit so maybe keep the tiger bond nearer to the original fixings not on the outer face. If that makes sense

Mine is also chopped in a few places but still has some of the fixing points intact but mine still touches the plastic arch on very hard boost and has unstuck in a few places - not sure what mine has on.

Fitting kits are about £100 off ebay i think i noticed, not sure if FMC still does them, more the likely NLA like everything else

Cheers lads,

Not me mate, fuck that it's so strong you would never get them off ( without damage ), my arches are trimmed and still a few screws to hold it on and bonded where the screws used to be that have been trimmed off.
