So I was Hesitant on making this thread. Do too not being completely sure on how to take it apart the without breaking anything and I didn't want to Jimmy Rig it back together. So until I had access to a lathe I didn't attempt the project
The spoiler is attached to the fiber glass piece with 3 screws that are not corrosion resistant. I had to drill out the old screws and brass inlay that the screws were threaded into. I managed to save one to take a picture
What's left of the other screws
I turned down a piece of brass and tapped them to the correct thread pitch
You drill out the old brass and jb weld the new fittings in and even if you destroy some of the structure jb and masking taped wrapped around it will create a good structure. In the custom brass threaded pieces shuv clay in the threads so that they don't clogg up with jb weld.
Buy stainless steel hardware and washer for corrosion resistance
Sand all the paint down to the fiber glass
Most wings will have cracks in the Fiberglas an te paint so you have to remove all the paint or its going to just look wavy.
I then dremel the crack out and fill them with a very nice body filler made by u-pol dolphin glaze
These are all the cracks I filled, you're supposed to use a fiber glass resin but its like impossible to keep the natural concave . So I decided to use filler. The glass resin is really thick and hard to work with
After you fill the cracks lay one coat of primer acting as your guide coat
Then you add a skim coat over the whole thing
I added one then let it activate then sanded and added another, and then another
After the second skim
This is before skim coat three
It's currently not finished but il ad pics soon I made a custom color and il show the results tomorrow
