Default Rear panel

A couple of questions on the rear panel

1. Do you use sikaflex or just pop rivet in on and

2. Is the bottom of the panel folded over as per the top or do you trim it level with the bottom or just bent over a little bit.

Cheers


Peter

I used a Sikaflex equivalent on mine and pop rivetted at each end and also in to the uprights between the curved bars. I rounded over top and bottom, I think the results were worth the effort, it looks really quite neat. I cut my panel long so that I had about 5mm over the edge of the diagonal at the rear of the wheel - ie where the panel ends. This enabled by to pein the edge over and give it a nice finish.
