I have been asked to make a separate thread for my experiments using structural adhesive to bond body panels instead of welding. This should make searching on the adhesives theme easier. Modern adhesives have come a long way from alradite, which was the first one that I used, back in the 70s, although it, and others were around long before then. The latest is actually 'Thatcham Approved' for use on car bodyshells. I will enhance this thread as time goes on and also update it in tandem with my restoration thread. A lot of the information can be found here... https://forum.tssc.org.uk/topic/2623-intersting-clutch-master-cylinder-piston-mod-nose-to-tail-1972-spitfire-mkiv-restoration-upgrades/page/39/ .. but there are references from page 35 (or there abouts) through to about 43. The page numbers may change a little as I am building an index on the first post of this thread, which may throw out the page numbers, so please be patience and have a look around!! If you have any questions about what I have done please post them here. Acknowledgments to Pete Lewis for thinking that this subject and my experiments, is important enough for it's own thread.

About to start bodyshell repairs and just wondered if you guys have any favourite suppliers for repair panels ?

Hi, I am thinking about underfelting and carpeting my Triumph GT6 MK3 and I wasn't sure what the purpose of 3 holes were in the body panels situated just behind the front seats. I have attached pictures below of the holes - I have placed rubber grommets on them for now as I had no idea what they are there for? Can anyone enlighten me? I want to know what purpose they have before I start to place the under felt on top of them.. Should I remove rubber grommets? Thanks! Jim.
