attaching rear wings

What is the typical method of attaching read cycle wings (grp to aluminium)? Im thinking rough up the two opposing surfaces, sikaflex or similar and then just 4 or 5 pop rivets to secure until glue dries. Good idea?

I'd want mine removable for easy servicing/replacement etc.
Rivnuts and bolts with nice big spreader washers and a either some stick on rubber seal to 'water proof' or a very sparing application of a basic sealant (that will tear/remove easily if pulled).

And use Tadpole Trim to seal and neaten the join.

Fair one I didn't really consider the need to regularly remove them. Are you using flush mounted rivnuts of some sort as I think mine would stick out a quite far

Yep same here, combination of m6 bolts/nylocs/rivnuts and some tadpole trim. Very easy to remove if need be.
