Default Help required from a higher power !
What is the best way of joining the Gillham rear arches to the tub please ? I want to use the wing piping, but wasn't sure wether to use 2 bits of plate to sandwich the panels to spread the load or not. The tubs seam to be very thin, & I am not sure of the best way to join it all up without busting the tub.

I used m10 bolts and penny washers either side about 6 per arch. Works a treat.

I pretty much did the same with 8mm and made sure where there was some steel work behind it I tapped it and used it also as a mounting point

If at first you dont succeed,avoid skydiving...

No parachute require to freefall,only if you want to do it twice.
