jackb_ms Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Hello All I’m working on a project, and I need some advice on adhesive. Do we have an adhesive expert among us? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted April 17 Member Share Posted April 17 I have an amateur interest. What are the surfaces? How good is the fit? And will the assembled bits be subject to any unusual conditions? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackb_ms Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 I am working out how to attach the headlights to the bonnet of my 21. So far, I have created a “bonnet” bracket and now I am working in creating a “headlight bracket. I'm using plastic body Wipac units which were supplied with plastic bowl and metal ring which attaches the headlight to the bowl. I also bought a different type of bracket; however, it uses the same type of ring for attaching the headlight unit. The bracket would be manufactured from stainless steel or aluminium, The headlight has a 5mm ledge. The surface of the bracket matching it would be approx. 15mm. I was thinking could this ledge be used to glue the headlight to the bracket using polyurethane adhesive or another type of adhesive (butyl, two-part Methacrylate,…) Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted April 21 Member Share Posted April 21 Thanks for the pictures. I don't understand how they'll attach to the bonnet. Please could you add some more of all of the bits held close together. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted April 22 Area Representative Share Posted April 22 That looks neat Jack. My improvised solution isn't anything like as tidy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackb_ms Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 Thanks Stephen I've ordered a 3D printing of the bonnet bracket. The headloight bracket is giving more issue to draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted April 22 Member Share Posted April 22 If you're 3D printing is there a need for two brackets that then have to be joined? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackb_ms Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 I did the Cardboard Aided Design and the PLA 3D printing is an aditional step to make sure all the brackets fill fit. The final product will be in stainless or aluminium. If gluing the light is the correct one, the design of the headlight bracket is done. If not I will have to find a different solution.
