CF Door Panles
Hey Guys
well I'm very happy just got a Set of CF door Panles Now I just want to know the best way to put them on? what's Been Done out there... etc. thanks Chris. |
I'd seen people use velcro on the doors for a clean look; no screws. Not sure about the rear panels...
|
I've seen small black screws. Wouldn't the velcro sag/pull off when its really hot?
|
Hi
I reckon some allen head bolts wouild look very racer. You can get them with dome head. Steve |
Steve great idea! Allen head, domed, stainless or anodized would look great.
|
WOW Steve that's Sweet thanks For the Great Racie Look
and thanks Pete about the Sagy Part Going to the Bolt Shop tonight :) BTW: anyone have a Set of rear CF Panles?? they want to Sell Chris. |
Hi
To make it really smooth, can you get hold of nut insert gun or rivenut tool? I use one like this http://www.wurth.com.au/cataloguevie...f=A09_0120.pdf Steve |
hey Steve
well I have a Small Rivit gun and A Huge one that I can get From work :) but I was thinking if I rivit it then anything I need to get back there I'll just have to Drill them out. thanks tho Chris. |
Chris,
The tool Steve is talking about actually rivets a nut to your door, so that you can thread a screw or bolt into it. I've used them before, pretty slick Alex |
Ah yes! Now I remember.... Steve C is referring to a tool that we used at my old work. Technically I wouldnt call it a nut that is riveted into the door, but rather something like an insert. Technicalities aside, those things work REALLY well! Just make sure that you got a SHARP drill bit THE SAME SIZE than the dia. of the insert, otherwise it wouldnt snugly fit once riveted, and give you endless frustration trying to bolt things down(the insert/nut will just spin in it's hole).
I wouldnt mind having one of those tools in my toolbox collection! |
Hmmm I have Never Seen one B4 I guess I'll have to go pick one up
if I can Fine one and then it's in the Tool to Share with all. Hey Alex where Do you think that I can Fine one?? thanks for all the help guys Chris. |
I have one of these it works very good even for larger bolts sizes
This link if or the aluminum insert version but if you look further they make a steel insert model as well http://www.toolsource.com/aluminum-k...-p-101304.html JC whitney also carries this tool |
Sweet deal thanks alot, and after Not Being So Lazy and Doing A
Search there's a Fastenal just down the Street that Sells them So I'll grab one tomorrow :) Chris. |
Chris, try and get a metric tool/inserts.
|
use the stock/factory clips, put them in the stock holes in the door, place some epoxy on the back of the clips, then align the panel into place.
once dried, the panel can be removed and replaced at ease just like the stock vw door panels. doing it this way eliminates screw holes, giving a clean appearance. this is how i did it, works perfectly. i hope this is useful. |
