Hey all,

latest project, new bodywork:

after suggestions/ideas RE: mounting the rear light cluster...

i've removed the old light unit, and the orig fairing had a moulded mount for self-tapping screws to fix the light bractet to the underside of the fairing... the new fibre glass fairing doesnt have this :S

first, i'd like to welcome any ideas...

i've come up with two..
a) drill two holes in fairing and mount using tasty-nuts...
have a couple of MD5(?), left over from my fairing kit
i think this would look ok, but unsure about drilling MORE holes!

b) mount some nylon stand-offs to the underside using (some kinda poxy) and use a couple of self tappers.
I'm pretty noob on bodywork, and don't really know how to fabricate anything to fibreglass... the old chap says 'it's eeaaasssy...' but I dont wanna end up like nc30 newbee !!
