SikaFlex. They makes all sorts of silicone and bonding agents.To stick metal to metal,use SikaFlex 221.

The leads are normal Bougi cords but I found some blue ribbed cable tidy and cut it so it would fit over the leads.Must say,it looks very clean.

Here are the pics of the engine in the Buggy.The coil and fuel pump are behind the fan on the firewall for a cleaner look.

The engine is in and the bar went on and fits like a glove.All I need to do is to tiighten the bolts at the bottom on the fork where the bar fits onto.

Glad to hear about the "aircooled again". See the hammer is still there. Having trouble with the sikaflex? :P
