So a friend of mine gave me his B-Magic wangan wing as a graduation gift not too long ago, but he said he didn’t have any of the mounting hardware for it.
Now I know there’s a couple different ways to mount these, i.e. drilling holes in my minty fresh hatch (which I don’t want to do) or use some form of C-Clip type things that clip on to the side of the hatch and into the slits in the bottom of the spoiler, that were supposed to come with it, along with double sided tape for re-assurance.
I’ve looked all over (Canadian Tire, Home Depot, etc.) for something that might work, but as I have no idea what exactly I’m looking for, I’m basically walking around blind.
I searched google for pictures of said brackets/clips to no avail. Anyone I ask in the stores I’ve went to have no idea what I can use (maybe they’re just lazy? lol).
Anyone have any idea where I can find something that will work?
PS: I know this is random, but does anyone also know the part number for the S13 nismo clusters/speedometer (the one with the 280km/h speedo), and if it’s still in production or not?
Thanks in advanced!
These type of clips? http://76.my/Malaysia/auto-body-metric-screw-u-nut-insert-clips-m5-tq5u-open-stock-1003-05-aaronngu77@15.jpg
Try Lowes they have a very good selection of autobody fasteners of all sorts.
3m double sided tape would work alone in your application tho, theres a ton of people that use the 3m autobody grade double sided tape for their roof spoilers… a wagan wing would have a much greater flatter surface to stick to.
The only problem with those specific ones that agent shows there is that you still are required to drill holes… which is the safest and probably the most reliable way. If you do it properly and the hole is protected and the wing has some sort of weather protection on it then it should last as long as the rest of the car.
Yes, something like that, but preferably without the hole for the screw in it, and maybe a bit wider. My hatch already has one more hole than I’d like in it (rear wiper) lol.
Does Lowes also sell the autobody grade 3M stuff? I hear it’s expensive… :\
There’s one near my work, I’ll check it out tomorrow, thanks for the info.
it can be expensive, but it amazing stuff! make sure to use quite a bit of it. don’t want it flying off on the highway. It’s not that hard to get off if down the road you don’t want it anymore.
we used floss to get it off most of the time (the string floss, not the thin paper-like floss). sounds odd but i bet there’s youtube videos about it.
3m auto body double sided tape. Shit is gold. Use it for everything from window deflectors to body side mouldings on mustangs. Its actually also holding my front lip on. Best substitue for drilling holes. If you can get a roll its worth the investment. You’ll find things to use it on. It also is holding my rsm in place and used it to hold my bee*r on in my prelude.
^ i used the same shit to hold on my wangan wing, works great.
