I've got some nice new extended arches for my Vit I just wondered what you guys feel is the best method to attach them? Pop rivets, screws or ??? They are similar to these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAND-ROVER-DEFEN...=item3a81cf69f1 |

Ive got a load of those self drilling self tappers, they stick out a long way on the inside, as you need to use longer ones than you think as you need a good couple or three threads on the other side of the sheet, or they just don't grip. I agree with litchi though, don't matter what you put them on with, mother nature will rip em off some time !!! |

ha ha ask mikeo about these....i think he lost the 1st one in lane 1 and the others followed shortly.... why spend shitloads of cash on arches when u can do it for pennys. my vits had rubber arches wich were made from door trims from a ford fiesta..... tenner from a scrappy... riveted on and lasted forever. plus the dont break or fall off.......... |
