Best way to fit mesh

[CrumbMC]

I have looked for some guides on mesh fitting on the internet and most of them say screws. However unless i have screws visibly poking out im not sure how to do it that was. was thinking of maybe using epoxy.

 

does anyone have any reccomedations? the bumper is an EPRacing V2

Try using a hot glue gun. Works a treat

I used these . . .

 

 

as long as the area you stick them to is clean they will not come off

thats not a bad idea. i might actually use a glue gun or epoxy with sticky backs. the ones i have for work re only sticky enough for a few 1.5 mm cables. cheers guys. it would be removable with that too

I have exactly the same job to do this weekend on my car. Not a zed yet though.

I bought some nice stainless mesh that jaguar use

You can get some "external" ones that will stick like . . . . to a brick

Zmanalex sells a mesh and suggests/supplies some self adhesive clips that work well.

On my phone ATM so searching is a little tricky. Bear with me....

Hi guys the best way is clear silicone,I have done about 50 bikes and a few cars for people the key is to use something to put pressure on the mesh but this is the best way.

I went for the sticky tabs, tie wraps and extra glue method. it's also held on quite solidly in the middle where the bumper is strapped between the mesh and my number plate.

The proper way would be to use an epoxy resin and bond either some small ally strips on with holes drilled in the end to take cable ties. Or expoxy on some hard bendy wire that can then be fed through the meek and bent over to hold in place.

A fibre glass kit from halfrauds would work a treat.

Agreed - i fitted mesh to my, and the misses', MR2 Turbo's ages ago. We fitted mesh to the side air intakes - i shaped the mesh around the inner curves and the fibre glassed it into place. Once dry the mesh was not going anywhere!!

needed to get it done quick mate. the pads are easily removable. i'll work on it, along with a more legitimate plate next week
