Fitting splitters?

[TitanTim]

OK back on topic.... something about fitting splitters was it Tim?

Myself and G8JKA fitted the full length splitter to his front bumper using a few G clamps just to ensure everything was in-line, then used
self drilling self-tappers to secure, We could raise the front of the car enough to be able to get a cordless drill under, but would be even better with a cordless screwdriver if you use self drilling screws, not as much room needed.
PS if you do it yourself you know you will do it right, I just don't trust others with my stuff.

Thanks Pete, out of interest did you pre-drill any small pilot holes for the self tappers? I'm thinking of getting one of those cheapish cordless screwdrivers, as I've always used muscles

Tim, this is what we used, they are called "truss-head self-drilling self-tappers"

No pilot hole needed, and a cordless screwdriver will be perfect.
If you can get a Li-On version they don't go flat if you haven't used them for a while, and are a bit more powerful.

Cheers Pete, where do you get those Truss Head screws from as they would be perfect, have done a google search etc but can't find any :-? would need 25mm length

Thanks,
