Crashbar holes
Posted: Wed Aug 16, 2017 12:28 pm
Two questions:
1. The previous owner had legshield crashbars fitted (I'm guessing) as there are two holes in the legshields. He fitted two badges over the top of the holes before I bought it. Anyway, I am stripping it down shortly to respray and generally tart up. Is it possible to fill the holes without welding? Not sure if a normal car body filler will bridge the hole and fill it. I would estimate the holes are approx. 10mm diameter. Obviously they are visible both sides so can't really patch and fill.
2. Do fibreglass panels/parts need etch priming or is a normal primer OK to use?
Thanks for any help.
