The garage is hovering around 5-6ºC today, so should be just warm enough to keep the Sikaflex bond/glue happy.
The stuff I put on yesterday is solid enough to hold the wings so the straps & wheels can come off to give me access. Today is to finish the job with some angle brackets to increase the surface area the bond has to grip.
This is cut up plasterers beading - used for finishing outside corners but perfect for this job - light/galvanised only £1/metre and easy to cut & bend into the right shape. Picked up this idea from a discussion on RHoCAR & specifically a remark made by Shaft:

The brackets end up coated in bond, squeezed through the holes from behind - hopefully the wings will be firmly attached to the car once this cures completely:
I just want to leave everything pretty much alone & still now until this completely goes off. Certainly no playing with the engine today - anyway its more like 1-2ºC outside today so I don't really fancy rolling her out into the drive to tinker with the engine.
