![]() iv fitted items such as the nosecone, scuttle and rear tub with hex headed self tapping screws ( the same sort used for tin roof panes). There great for stuff that has to come off regularly. For side panels i put some double sided sponge tape on the chassis rails then used rivets on the top and coverd them along their legnth in self adesive foam to avoid scrathing the underside of the bonnet and scuttle. Underneath the side panels i used self tapping screws again. I used a steel floor hoewever which i riveted on and tack welded for good measure.

![]() I have always used these self drilling hex headed screws.
http://www.weifeng-fastener.com/phot...ling-Screw.jpg They are brilliant for pipe clips,removable panels and any other lightweight fixing requirement. You just have to make sure that you dont try and use them an anything heavier than 2mm steel. The buggers sheer off before they take up thread. http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pub...YF1DZ63HzOcuJw these angle drills are the biz as well. Bob
