Stika flex/ tiger seal / pu adhesive , double up on latex gloves when using it takes 3 or 4 days to get off your skin and i have 1 bolt on each
bracket just on the inner edge just for good measure

Make sure you key both surfaces before applying the silkaflex, some people also bolt them as a precaution the next time I fit arches I will also be
fixing a strip of ally to thr underside with blobs of silkaflex to prevent stone damage. Wish I had done it to the back wings I wouldnt have the
cracks I have now
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

I have mine secured with Evostick "Sticks like S**t", another PU adhesive. I allowed this to set for a couple of days, then cleaned up the
PU around the brackets and then put a couple of layers of CSM over the whole lot, much neater than having bolts sticking through the gaurds, IMHO. HTH

Front arches
Hi,
I use a Loctite product called 9466 x 50ml .
Its like a two part Araldite , but it self mixes in a special nozzel, but you get a few nozzels with the adhesive.
Used this to bond the front cycle wings onto the stays on my race car, and they never budged.
Hope this helps.
Regards Chris.
