Part 2 To the Knighter Rider Nose project.

Okay, continuing work on the nose, although the grills were in kinda tight, i was searching the internet for pictures of the grill install in other people cars (KITT) and i found one person who had a very good ideal, this guy build his own Knight Rider car and he lives in Japan. His website is out of this world. Moving on, he place metal tabs into the nose's lip areas and then he secured the grills to them.

I made my version of what he did on his, I got so lite metal and cut them to length. Next i bended them into L shape, next was to measure and drill hole into them. In all there is a total of four. Next thing I had to do was measure and drill holes into the grills themselves. I had to measure the hight of the L shape brackets so that the holes were even.

Next, I got my hand on some flat head stove bolts, zinc plated 32x1/2 (which match the holes perfectly). I did a test fit and success! The bolts also came with their own nuts to secured them. Taking everything apart and using for the first time "Automotive Amazing Goop" it come out clear and jelly like but very strong. it curing time is around 2-10 minutes, for maximum strength 24 hours to 72 hours.

Since I did all the work on Saturday, on Monday the right hand side was completed and glue in tight, I did the left hand side on Sunday, on Tuesday like the right hand side very secured. I tested the strength of glue by tapping the grills with an hammer lightly to see if the glue break off from the nose. Again i was amazed, it held! Now the next project for the nose will be cutting out the area for the direction lamp so that they can be seen.

Here are some pictures, hope you enjoy them.
