Hi Folks,

I'm wondering what you may be using to do your final attachment of the lower edge of the rocker panel to the corresponding flange on the chassis. As RCR-40 owners probably know, the arrangement is the bottom edge of the rocker is above the flange on the chassis, and access seems to demand a pre-located nut on the backside of the FRP rocker panel. I'm considering using fold-clips (see below - you probably call them something else) but these are intended for steel and don't spread out the load very much, and two sided tape seems so after-market

Thanks & Best Regards,

Al
