 This way involves no glass matting at all, you get epoxy resin mix with the harder and then mix it with micro fibre (adhesive filler) there are different grades of this powder from maximum adhesive to fairing and sanding, of course you use the max-adhesive. You then spread this over the bare metal guard and then place the flare on top of it and screw or pot rivet it down, allow to harden then grind the outside of the flare up and apply another lay over the top, apply as much as possible to form the shape needed thus giving it more strength, sand and apply a filler over the top to finish off. In both cases it is best to pre fit the flare on the guard and drill the holes etc so it is easy to reline up, also it is a good idea to leave the screws or rivets in and just grind the top a little before you glass over the top or use the max-adhesive filler, do not use normal filler to cover the screws as they will only come though in time.
One other step that can be taken to help bond it to the metal guard is to drill the odd hole in the guard so the glass or adhesive filler can spread though the hole and make it even hold better, as most vans have a double skin you can't see this so there's no problems.

If you need the code names for the adhesive filler let me know as I'm sure Fibre Glass International has it in Aussie.

This sounds like the best way,but can you get the stuff here in oz? and were do you get it? wouldnt mind giving it a try this way as not to good with fiberglass..haha

thanks

yes you did:) but i didnt design them:) i have had many vans that do this. it is just slightly restricting on your turning circle. its actually a good thing i recon. stops you really screwing the front tyres out. have a look at the angle of the tyres on full lock its crazy! and not good for tyre wear.

ill pass this on to the road worthy man and see if he is ok with it.hahaha
Also i need some flares for the van and i hear your the man to ask. pm the price and some pics if youu can Ben.can you screw them on?

cheers
