Fitting Flares
Fitting Flares
Hi
Ive just brought some rubber flares for my sierra. Am wondering hat the best way is to fit them: Tec screws, Rivets, Nuts and bolts, contact adhesive.
Tec screws seem the most obviouse way but has anyone had any trouble with them rattling loose.
any thoughts?

tek screws for sure..but use small washers aswell,as it spreads the rubber more evenly(you will see what i mean) dont be too trigger happy on the battery drill either,you just want it snug,too tight and it distorts the rubber.i used about 12 per wheel..
after fitting complete,paint with black rust kill on both the rubber side and up above the lip where the screws come thru,this will both stop it from rusting,and gum up the threads of the screws to stop them ratteling loose

Also use needle point, button head screws save the drill points for thicker material, the drill tip of the drill pointed screw removes a lot of material compared to the needle point that simply displaces it, it is this material that the thread of the screw "bites" into and holds tight.

sierra truggy,37 sticky treps,propane,6.5s and disconnect,lux diffs with spools,16" fox shox,hydro steer.
just fitted set of wrangler flares to my zook with silicon(black) and a couple of screws just to hold it ther till it went off.just used lots of silicone and pressed it down really hard till it oozed out the edges, then wiped it off the excess with a rag and detergent and water so it still looked neat. only good though if its applied over larger surface areas and if u dont plan on taking them of in a hurry.
