Cup Splitter Fixed and Fitted
As I finished early today for Xmas I decided to spend the afternoon fixing the Cup Splitter that arrived yesterday then fit it to the 172.
As it arrived in 2 parts [a clean break from the previous owner] I decided to bond the 2 parts with fibreglass. I used a fibreglass repair kit from my local Halfords.
Once finished it gave a very strong bond and the crack was almost unnoticeable!
I then used self tapping screws to attach the splitter to the front bumper.
It might not last long though as it is very low to the ground.
Some pics.
