I picked up some carbon under tank panels from MDI Carbon, how the heck do you put these things on?

I was looking at those and I believe it said to use double faced tape or you have to drill holes?

They didn't come with any instructions so I'm not sure. Double sided tape would probably work though.

If you use Sicaflex the one for boats, it will hold it really firm, I made a piece of flexible plastic sticker it with Sicaflex, and it is hold really strong.

Sikaflex looks great, they make a ton of different stuff! I'll have to look at how it differs from the automotive stuff they make for heat resistance.

The panels are from MDI Carbon, about a hundred bucks.

3M ultra high temp adhesive tape is available locally and good up to 550 degrees. I'll try that out while my sikaflex is shipping.

I usually use a small drill bit in a dremel to drill the holes. Then enlarge them with a Chamfer tool. I also sell a frame plug with the needed bolts which makes it and easy install.

That's a handy kit, mine only has that big hole on 1 side of the frame though.

Take lots of pics of your install, I'd like to see how you do the drilling.
