Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted July 22, 2013 Leadership Team Share Posted July 22, 2013 Use the sticky pads from Halfords that they sell for number plates Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I use 3M No more nails on a roll ...... double-sided adhesive tape ..... the one for Exterior Use. It has a red backing on the roll. About £5/roll from the likes of B&Q ...... in the adhesives area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Kay Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Sticky pads, as above. Make sure they're warm: shouldn't be too hard at the moment. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ. Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The great thing about sticky pads, is if you need to remove the plate some fishing line or dental floss cuts through them easily Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team Garry7 Posted July 23, 2013 Leadership Team Share Posted July 23, 2013 Whatever CC use is not up to the job, my front number plate came off several times in the first 2000 miles and CC put it back on each time whilst doing other work. I got fed up with it falling off and used the 3M tape as recommended by SM25T. 6500 miles later still stuck on and rock solid. Also used it to fit my high level brake light under the roll bar - again rock soild, thoroughly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fil M Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 My front CC bonded plate started to come adrift the other day so after researching blatchat I remounted it with the 3M double sided tape option .... four days later on the M27 it came off again. It was on solid so I am puzzled as to why it came off .. I probably did not prepare the nose cone properly.. Anyway went to B n Q and bought their heavy duty velcro ... its back on and survived its test flight yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Needs to be stuck to the sides of the opening too. If just stuck along the horizontal lower edge, it will flex in the air flow until the adhesion fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
