This might be a dumb question, but has anyone compiled a list of recommended fasteners, nuts, bolts, clips, fittings, etc. for a SL-C build?
I've been doing lots of research and data-mining, am am seeing references to all sorts of things that I never knew about before, but don't have any specifics other than passing references. For example,
- Nutserts (for putting screws into fiberglass)
- P-clips (for fastening wire loom)
- 5/16" machine screws (for affixing stuff to aluminum chassis)
- Cleco blind grip fasteners (for holding stuff together prior to welding or riveting)
- Swagelocks (for fuel line fittings)
- AN Jet Nuts (for pedal assembly to floor pan)
- Click-Bond?
Those are all great tips, but I am struggling to define the specific details necessary to actually locate and buy that sort of stuff. I am just trying to make sure I fully understand what I'm getting into before jumping in with both feet. For example, what sort of fasteners are used to affix the windows and headlight covers to the fiberglass body? I'm guessing there are certain fasteners that should be purchased in bulk for economy-of-scale reasons.
v/r,
Harold
