Front splitter, best way to fit it?
Whats the best way to fit a splitter? Nuts n bolts or self tappers?
Rather than remove the front bumper to do this i think ile get her up on the tractor ramps. That should get the bottom of the bumper about 4 ft off the ground and so make it easy to work on. Ile hold it in position with some duck tape.

Front splitter best way to fit it
Dear Andy
How did you manage to get a front splitter then
When I took all six of the mudflaps off the SAAB and undersealed
the underneath of it, I got some smashing 8mm headed self-tapping
screws with metal washers and thick rubber washers aswell, they were
galvanised Andy. They were made for fixing roof panels on garage
roofs or conservetory roof panels.
I got them from a screwfix place in Lincoln, only have on or two
left now. They are very good and stop the water getting in anywhere
too.
Hope this helps Andy.
Vince.

Great, that 19TXD is in realy nice condition for its age asides that osr door and surprisngly shiney considering it hasnt seen polish for a LONG time.Grenman wrote:It is Tim,
i will have a go at the paint shortly as well. Going to do the splitter and then the light bulbs in Sophies dash and then attack the paint. Then its the TXds mot. Thats bound to cost this time as its only been £5.10p to get her through over the last 2 years.
