Both (3 dimple type) front strut spheres test out @36bar


Dash demist air vents off and the delaminating bit of the dash being stuck down with 3M structural acrylic adhesive (DP8810N)

Two days clamped to "get it back into shape"

Adhesive applied, foam pad pressure

Hard foam blocks (bumper shock filling foam from an XM :) ) wrapped in gaffer tape to apply force whilst it cures, it says a few mins but I left it for 24hrs.

No, I had to mix by hand as the "Universal" mixing tips that "fit all leading adhesives cartridges"....did not fit the "leading" adhesive makers cartridges :)

Perhaps you needed to glue the tips on to make them fit ?.... I hear 2-part adhesives are good for that 8-[ :-D
