Out of interest Jimbob, which epoxy stuff did you use?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/201041218566?lpid=122&chn=ps&googleloc=9046493&poi=&campaignid=207297426&device=c&adgroupid=13585920426&rlsatarget=pla-156022130226&adtype=pla&crdt=0

been handy for all sorts of jobs.  Seems good stuff.

Make a blob of the stuff, mould it round the bolt head, mould both bits to underside of car.  Stuck fine.

'Tis useful stuff indeed .. I get mine from this link ... (nearly half your links price !)

and find one of their suggestions "interesting" although I've not yet tried it ...

"To re-tap a worn thread, fill the hole with Abro Steel, treat the bolt or screw with WD40 and force it into the putty, wait 2-3 minutes and give the screw a half turn. Once the Abro Steel has hardened you can remove the screw to find a new thread."



Edit ... following HKT's post may I add this from the tech spec ??

"Abro Steel is resistant to temperatures between -70ºC and +260ºC and, once cured, is impervious to most acids and solvents (including petrol and diesel). "

I've never had it soften on anything I've mended with it .. including the exhaust on the mower !!

Used to use that stuff for allsorts of things when at Binbrook 
In fact, along with Araldite, that was what held Lightnings together in the last few years of service 

You forgot to mention speedtape .....    .. Hercules fleet would have ceased to function without it !!

Are yes, the main component of every BDR kit

Thanks for the replies, that epoxy looks useful to have in the garage anyway, so will have a go with that. (assuming I can find some suitable bolts)

The underside has that 'rubber' effect underneath, did you mold to this or strip it back to bare metal?

I found it gripped the rubberry stuff fine

  bare /painted metal every time

Underseal won't take epoxy... well it will, but you'll have a bare patch when it falls off
