Drilling the sills....where!??
Just recieved my sills chequerplate but they are not pre drilled unlike the top wing chequerplate. Does it matter where i choose to drill and pop rivet?? Any advice welcome thanks.

Very strong PU sealer/glue, in a mastic tube. Good stuff.

If you go down this route dont use too much as you have gaps between the CP & Panel

I would use silicone kit (not sure how it is called in the UK) It glue well and the good thing is you can get it off without damaging the paint. Roel

If you rivet it on there will be gaps between the two items, and if you use silicone it will have a terrible effect on any future painting Thumbs Up

The chequer plate on my 110 has some sort of foam filler pad behind it to eliminate the gaps...
