flukey-lukey Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'm not sure what you mean, but glue usually works when nothing else does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 there are hole in the caps where it look like some sort of pin goes in so you can take them off to adjust the angle on the blade. gluing this is not an option il post a pic up in a minute so you can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukey-lukey Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Ahhh I see. Personally I'd set the spoiler how you want it and then glue/silicone them on. If you did ever need to adjust the spoiler again I'm sure they wouldn't be too hard to prise off again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 yeh but the caps have hole in them for screws or pins or something so would look odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flukey-lukey Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Oh right lol, well in that case I've no idea. maybe try contacting the place you bought it from so they can supply some fixings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-NEMIE Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Plasterboard Plugs, the type that open up behind the wall just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CoolsBlue Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 plastic pop caps like what the front bumper use:) or tap 2 wide screws into the bigholes (fibreglass) will be ok i think:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 yeh i bought some plaster board ones but they have to dig into the fibreglass which im not happy with and they wont open up. where can i get pop caps from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra steveo Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 why not put fiber glass in the holes then when its dry drill smaller holes than the screws (guide hole) ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 You can make some up out of plastic or metal and shape them using filler, trim clips work for holding them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 The 2 holes in the wing sides should have threaded metal inserts inside, the side panels are then held on by 2 allen screws. It looks like the threaded insert on yours have come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_si Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 TRD (toyota racing developments). surely toyota would be able to help. but yeh i think push pins could be the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before, no they wont. If you walked into mr T they will explain they do not sell them or even parts for them. They will however sell you some push pins they they supply for other use's. Go to Halfords, they sell them for about a pound for a bag of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_si Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 i had a look in halfords the other day. may have to go and have a more closer look. didnt see any there when i was there last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
