Servus zusammen, Last year I have bought the E.B.R. belly pan. http://www.EBRacing.com/shop/product22.html Maybe it was the wrong decision, but I got it installed in a HD workshop. First time it was much to high, it was tight-fitting to the muffler. But after some friendly words they put it deeper ("as deep as possible"). But after some hundred miles I have noticed, that I still getting heat exhaustion at the paint on the pan. And for me it's still looking like have contact in the middlepart of the muffler. Anyway, now I want to cement a big fat glass fiber mat into the belly pan. Now my question: Which kind of glue I should take? I Don't want to have a fire from the wrong one. Most interesting I have found is Loctite 5399, silicon-based and proof till 300°C (570°F). But maybe a heat-proof glue onto a glass fiber mat is not enough and the belly pan must be installed deeper? I really don't want a Ferrari 458 Italia effect...  Greetings, Pascal (Message edited by da_fraemda on February 22, 2011) | ||

under the mat you should be able to use hi temp silicone. they have one type that is good to 400F. i used it to glue muffler wrap to the inside of my race bike frame. tim | ||

You could wire tie the mat to the muffler. That's what I did on my custom exhaust to keep some of the heat from transferring to the motor. | ||

Horrido, I have my decision: Loctite 5399 will it be. The next question was: "how much?" And that is something for us fans of the metric system..  One tube of Loctite contains 300ml. If I want to put a thickness of 1mm on the adhesion surface area and if the inner surface of the bellypan has a area of 1m² than I need how much tubes of Loctite? Any idea? No? OK. I make it more easy for you: 300ml = 0,01oz 1mm = 0,04in 1m² = 11ft²  For this reason I now have ordered 3 tubes of Loctite. Tschüssgens, Pascal |
