A spot welder would be the best way to weld the fin into place, very easy to use, just set the timer and press together...

Add to wish list, A 230 volt hand held Spot Welder.. :)

Hmmm, all the carbon cowls have no lip on the L shape cut out :-?
Is a cowl with the scoop a preferred choice or not?
And what about cutaway or removed footboards, help or hindrance?

May have to send one down Steve ;-)

May have asked before, but what happened to the MB ones?
