NC30 - fitting rear light to modded track fairing
Hey all,
latest project, new bodywork:
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3 ... =515822793" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
after suggestions/ideas RE: mounting the rear light cluster...
i've removed the old light unit, and the orig fairing had a moulded mount for self-tapping screws to fix the light bractet to the underside of the fairing... the new fibre glass fairing doesnt have this :S
first, i'd like to welcome any ideas...
...
...
...
i've come up with two..
a) drill two holes in fairing and mount using tasty-nuts...
have a couple of MD5(?), left over from my fairing kit
i think this would look ok, but unsure about drilling MORE holes!

b) mount some nylon stand-offs to the underside using (some kinda poxy) and use a couple of self tappers.
I'm pretty noob on bodywork, and don't really know how to fabricate anything to fibreglass... the old chap says 'it's eeaaasssy...' but I dont wanna end up like nc30 newbee !!
