Nose Grill Fixing

[Steve20]

I am keen to avoid the use of cable ties to hold the nose grille in place, any suggestions please ?

I used fibreglass to make 4 lugs which I then screwed self tapers into from behind the grill.  Means you cant see any fixings from the front

On mine I have made my own grill and fixed it in place with a polyurethane adhesive like sikaflex, NOT silicone it will fall off.

Or you could fibreglass it in place with something like P40.

Hi Barry,

How's the car coming on, by the way the blue tooth in my tin top 5 series still works a treat.

Took your advice and ordered the bodywork today although I don't need it for a couple of months.

Cheers Steve

I bond a peice of brake pipe around the nose cone and then fit tie wraps through the grill neat and easy to remove the grill for cleaning.

I Sikaflexed half a dozen aly brackets around the opening, and cable tied the grill to those.
