Title: Sealing bolts
Post by: Snooky on March 08, 2007, 21:02:49

Going to be fitting the seats and seat belts in the rear this weekend, to do so I need to mount the rear seat belt brackets and this will mean one of the bolts on either side going in through the rear of the 90.
What would you use to endure this stays water tight and doesn't start to cause even more corrion.

Hope someone knows where I mean  :wink:

id personally not use anything & bolt it down tight with big washers either side

is that because you got enough drainage holes elsewhere mike ?  :lol:

serious note, if the rear of your 90 doesnt let the wet stuff in, then i'd take the time and make some little rubber sealing washers to go between body and washer and blob alittle bit of silicone on the bolt as you push it through

if your 90 is like most and lets abit of water into the back, then dont bother  :roll:

funny enough it is pretty water tight, so guess I will be looking for some thin rubber, or might just cut a nice piece of bike inner tube up and use that with some silicone, both of which I have  :wink:

Mine would have good drainage/fountains after removing all the bench seats, only thing keeping it dry now is a large amopunt of speed tape  :lol:
