TK-7534 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hello! I have had headache about getting this AB plate fastened. (See pictures below). I was told to trim it. I trimmed it half way first but to late I realized that the screws would be in the way. I then tried to trim it down to make the screws go through the ABS and fasten in the back. To short! I then figured I didnt want to do this and asked the AM people to send me another one. I even tried the "for sale section " here. The AM people then said trimming it all the way down would look awesome (it does) and that I shouldnt bother getting another one. So how do I fasten this? The Only thing I can think of is E6000 and cutting the screws doen and simply glue them too. Any help would be great. I hope I havent screwd this up.

DarkTrooper[TK] Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 IDW. Those look like those aren't screws and actually "buttons". The buttons for snaps. And if its a AM/FX kit then thats what they are. I had to use those too when I put together my first FX kit. If the button ends are long enough to go through the ab detail plate AND the ab plate, I would use glue to hold them on the inside. HOt glue or E6000.

Those are threaded billet aluminum buttons that come with the AM kit... not snaps. I attached my AM plate with a little E 6000 glue around the edges and it's held just fine.

vicsouders Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Hmmm...if they are threaded...wouldn't the female end of the chicago screw still work? The female end screws all the way up to the button (flange). Maybe I'm missing something, I'll try to take my own pictures to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-7534 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 It all worked out fine. Cut the screws, glued them to the plate. Glued it all together. Sits like a rock. Thanks for all the help. Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
