Bond the skirts on with tiger seal or some thing like that, the self tapping screws go through the skirt and into the inner lip of the front and rear arch the skirt will fit into the arch at each end screw through here if ya get what i mean

you dont necessarily need to use the screws do you?
my side skirts are going to be just bonded with sikaflex.

cheers. iv just got some fitting instructions that make it a bit easier to understand they have 3 screws 1 inthe front and 2 in the rear. they arent very long though by the time they are screwed in and have the bonding on them i hope they stay there, i take it bonding glue is very strong

yeah its real strong like penguin said you dont really need the screws but just to be safe use them you could also make a bracket to hold the skirt at its mid point
