Bolting on Wing

[Dundy2456]

I've it a fiberglass wing that has spots for bolts to go through. It's a ducktail shape. Wondering how other people bolt on wings / flares / etc.? I'm thinking SS bolts..

Cheers

I'm not sure what you are asking here?

Bolts will be the best option, Rivets are also a possibility.
Some peopel just use double sided tape.

Easiest way is to just go to Masters and have a look in teh bolt aisle, they sell small packages and have a decent selection of the more interesting bolts if you dont want the normal hexagon head (ie: allen key, torx head, etc)

Stainless steel will prevent rust forming on the bolt

sikaflex if your feeling frisky

I'm asking how do people who have bolt-on panels bolt them on? (my mistake if my first post wasn't clear)

But thanks, had a feeling SS was the way to go.

Most use bolts, often just whatever ones are handy. But, as you said, stainless is a better option.

I have seen others use Rivets, tape, sikaflex, and all manner of fasteners though.



When you drill the boot lid to attach the bolts apply some touch up paint (or any paint really) to the inside of the drilled hole to cover up the bare metal and prevent rust from forming there.

Is it the KG Works spoiler? I used Rivnuts/nutserts when I had mine, they will work for the places that you can't get too to fit a nut.
If you can't find someone to borrow a rivnut tool from, there are a few diy solutions on the web.
