cut them off the original piece and fiberglass them to it. i would imagine this being quite hard.


not that easy... ABS plastic doesnt like to take to fiberglass worth a damn. trust me I have tried to do it countless times and never had much sucess.. the best attempt I had was using a plastic weld to the fiberglass but it didnt hold for as long as I hoped.

The one thing I havnt tried yet and am planing on doing with a side vent I am recreating outta glass to mount some guages in is to make my mold with plaster and them cut out the mounting clips and work them into the wet glass... so it surrounds a piece of the ABS.. that way even if it come loose of the glass the clip will be held in cuz the glass is surrounding it..... frown.gif dont think that made alot of sense... oh well

Theres always duct tape smile.gif

Oh and thats what I actually was thinking after I read the first paragraph^^^
