Scott TMN Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Just wondering the best way to fit these to my V2 bumper? in terms of marking out the holes etc. My canards are FRP with a metal tapped hole, so lining up is quite crucial. Just wondering how others have done theirs? Cheers in advance! Edited July 26, 2014 by Scott_f91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobears Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 No idea but I'm sure it's difficult judging by the name of the bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Cover area for canards with masking tape, measure three times where you want to position them, put bolts in the canard holes and put a dab of grease/butter/toothpaste on the end to mark masking tape, drill holes, mount canard, grab drink of choice, job done 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 If you take the bumper off you may find that there are actually marks in the FG where the holes need drilled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I shall check as that would be very handy! Edited July 27, 2014 by Scott_f91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hmmm I don't think it does, I think they sell the canard separately from memory, but that doesn't mean there won't be markings to help you You're going to have to remove the bumper to drill and fit them anyway, so you'll soon see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinyflier Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Take a photocopy of the rear of the canards and that gives you a perfect template of where the bolt holes are. Place copy up against bumper, tape it securely and drill carefully! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott TMN Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 I like it, photocopying could be hard as they are very curved, but could maybe more easily make a template lay it over and poke through to the holes.... few options to play with! need to pain them yet... gtting nervous aha cheers for the responses though guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
