  • Fitting a composite panel to the rear of a Burger Van

    Hi Guys,

    I need to fit a full size (8’X4′) composite panel to the rear of a burger van but not 100% sure how to tackle it. Any advice?

    if metal, rivets would be least obvious fixings as far as cosmetic appearance goes.
    tek screws as has been said is a good option but remove the washers on the tek so they are less bulky looking.
    there is always VHB tape or similar, but you’re getting one chance to get it right before its stuck.

    I would probably consider partially bonding it with tigerseal if it doesn’t need to be removed in the future, this will allow for a lot less visible fixings if any at all

    I would avoid screws – they move about and unwind – could be embarassing. Rivits and a bead of adhesive around the edges to make it all tidy.
