I've got the usual Disco back door rust bubble problem and want tidy it.
It's only on the bottom 1" and in two spots. I'm thinking of fitting a piece
of aluminium plate with a speckled effect, five bar would look odd as the
strip is narrow and i could not make it any wider due to LR's infinite
wisdom of putting a crease in the bottom 2" of the door!!

What would be the best to stick it on - I was thinking of Sikaflex or
failing that gripfill !!

I don't really want to rivet it as this would just accelerate the rusting
from electrolysis.

Cheers

Silkaflex is the dogs dangalies.. 3/4 of the items in my motorhome i built
are held in place with that stuff,

solar panels are fitted to motorhome roofs with silka nowadays, as their
owners seem overly worried about holes in the roof for bolts leaking... yet
they don't mind the big hole the cable comes in through, or the bolts that
hold the roof vents on, or TV aerial etc

Howsabout a trip to B&Q and buy a tube of no-more-nails ? It seems to be a
pretty much universal ****-to-a-blanket type of adhesive.

Don't think i've got any internal pics up yet, but www.kampenwagen.co.uk is
our site,

trying to get back on topic.. Most of the alli trim on the van's exterior is
held on with silkaflex..erm.. the iveco badges are held on with silkaflex
too.. they used to get nicked every other week untill i silkaflexed them
on.. the back one has a few broken edges of the letters from people trying
to get it off.

On the main tech page it says to hit the continue button to carry on.
Where abouts is the continue button hidden?. I have tried looking in
both firefox and IE.
