Hi folks,
Any cunning plans only i'm trying to secure some guages etc to my dash & the lill boogers wont stick & trying to read a boost guage etc when it's bouncing about aint so easy (well at least not when trying to keep focused on road too lol)
Can i just use a swissol kinda wax remover thing (presuming it's some silicon based cleaner someones used at some point?) or might that damage dash perchance, guess not as it's good stuff but just wanted to fish for ideas, cunning plans etc...?
Cheers
Si (lacking sticky bits)

Methylated spirits (methyl alcohol) works well.

Autogylm tar and bug remover. You could also try some 'trim tape' from Halfrauds, very sticky indeed

Yeah the Halfords Adhesive number plate pads work ok.

I got the 1mm strips for the turbo timer etc-really sticky double sided pads. Plus you get a nice wipe to prepare the area that worked a treat.

£1.19 I think they are.

Another good tip is to warm the area they will stick to, the base of the gauge holder and the sticky pad itself once it's on the gauge holder, before pressing into place.

A hairdyer, or heat gun (BE CAREFUL IF YOU USE A HEAT GUN!!!), will do the job.
