Steve.....it was just regular double sided tape that was about 5mm thick and about 10mm wide and made of a kind of neoprene.....basically I used it only because it was there, but then again I did not want the fg panels to be a nightmare to remove if damaged which would be the case if I had used Sikaflex, so it was a no brainer for me.
As for the cut out on the rear tub, I have chosen to go all the way back to the chassis .....I figure muck will get everywhere regardless and yes I was planning on trying to tie in as many fasteners as possible to be dual purpose.
I might use the DS tape for mounting my wheel arches as well as is does compress very well and gives an excellent seal while allowing a little be of "give" that might mean the difference between a crack, split or nothing with a gentle impact.
Cheers TT..the arches I am just going to put where everybody else has which is tip to tip to the edges of the chassis/tub.
