Pant half ready to be glued to its other half, axle in hole in pant. 
The strut is in contact with the inside of the pant but it is not attached to it yet.  The 
unpainted aluminum sheet wheel cover is glued to wheel with methacrylate glue. 
 

 

  

 

Pant halves being epoxied together.   

Fill and smooth seams with auto  

Axle protrudes thru holes in pant, 

 

body filler.  Evercoat Euro-Soft 

both sides. 

 

 

 

 

Polyester Glazing Putty shown here. 

 

 

For extra security, insert a sheet metal screw or self-tapping machine screw thru the pant and into 
the strut three inches above the axle, inside surface only. This will reduce wear on the axle holes.
