Attaching vin plate

Post by Stevetddz71 »

HI I already have the drive screws to attach my vin plate but does anyone know what type of adhesive to use on the back side of the plate?

Once you're certain it fits well, I'd use contact cement. That is applied to both surfaces, allowed to nearly dry, and then they are pressed together. You can that way really control any...leakage and any you get is easily cleaned up.

Agree with Nils - think that's what I used when I did it.

Welcome to the site, Steve.
Why not start a thread of the rebuild. Some of us here could learn things that we could apply to our own resto.
