Title: Fixing Flick's bottom fairing clips.
Post by: Toogoofy317 on February 04, 2012, 10:06:16 PM
So, the bottom tab on Flick's fairing broke. This is what we did.

First grab some of this:

Get some tin foil and a bamboo skewer. Two metal washers

Mix plastic weld according to directions

Place washers

Clip and let dry for 20 min

Drill hole through fairing

Pop Rivet into place for extra strength

All done!
