Default Anyone riveted Series 2 arches on?

Through the front I mean? I need to trim the rears right back and won't be able to get a rivet back on the inside lip. Could tiger seal it, but not sure what the best option is.

Tiger seal and use a strong masking tape to hold in place while it sets and leave somewhere dry and warm for a few days

Did it on a cossie and a mate who had it after hit a post and couldn't get it off the wing after lol

When riveting the kit on a s2 it always makes the kit look out of shape, from what I've seen and your car is so mint I wouldn't do that too it mate

Cheers, lads. Do they have a good contact area on the rear for sealant?

Loads matejust be careful when refitting the kit you haven't put too much on when you press it against the quarter panel

Yeah, I've used Tiger Seal before. It's a bastard to clean off! You don't need to use much, mind.

I've got to stiffen up my main engine mount so going to bodge some tiger seal in there, so it's strong enough to work with the vibratechnics g/box mounts
