Kaminari Grille Bar Adhesive Question

[Doug Allen]

A while back, I had a set of Kaminari lower grille bars chromed, and I want to install them on Thumper's Bunny this weekend.

The challenge is, they are fairly inflexible with the chrome, and I need suggestions on what type of adhesive would be best to hold them in place.

vette glue will do.

Amazon.com: Corvette Chemicals: Fiber Glue Bonding Adhesive for Corvettes: Automotive

You might want to check with your buddies at 5150.

Speaking of 5150, I see they're not list under Supporting Vendors. What happened?

That looks permanent...what happens if Deb wants them off some time down the road?

3M industrial tape. Same type of tape that holds the SSR on the rear gate.

I agree with RRR, check with 5150

Thanks for link, I'll check it out. I have a call in to Scott at 5150 as we speak.

I asked Scott @ 5150 about the supporting vendor status, he said they got about 6 hits per month, which is a lot lower than their advertising in bike mags (150+ hits per month) so they let it go. Business is business.....

Where did you get the grille bars and chroming?, I am interested.
sorry no ideas on the glue tape except 3M

Google Kaminari for the grille bars.

I had them chromed by Custom Coatings in Florida. Believe me when I say they're not cheap - cost was about $ 250 per bar nine months ago, and it took three months. Quality is very good, but you have to deal with the fact that they lose flexibility....

A couple pics of my installation methods.....3M heavy duty moulding tape installed with a high tech heat gun (my color coordinated blow dryer Thumper donated to my garage) and inflated tires to hold each bar down over night - they don't slide.

How did that last pic get in there?

[OP]

Pretty sweet.
