ShawnPreece Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I have some Carbon Air Diverters that will be here next week. Just so I can get the bits ready to fit them as soon as they get here (before JapFest hopefully) how is the best way to fit them? screw or rivet? The thread here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?310199-Carbonfiber-Air-Diverters shows them being screwed which looks good but have heard of them being riveted too and wondered if this was a better method for strength etc...

jimojameso Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Well the good thing about rivets is they don't come loose and fall out so i would probably go with them Always think they look better than screws too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Rivets would be a permanent fit or you could use rivnuts and machine screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Those gadgets can be a PITA to work around, Nic's Rivnut suggestion is the maintenance friendly option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thats a great idea with the rivnuts... not sure if il just go with rivets and drill them out if needed (although planning on it being permanant) or to use rivnuts incase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Sorry to be a little bit of a dummy here but I haven't got them or seen them yet, do they only rivet/rivnut/screw along the top flat piece or do they attach underneath too? id assume they also attach underneath do they?
