I used the pukka pads for the motorists' shop for the rear, but I used double the amount suggested. I have to admit I used screws for the front, it's not as obvious, and it's slightly curved.

I was just worried that the pads on their own for the rear plate would not suffice. I was curious to see if someone out there had a special way of attaching them. As I really do not want to drill holes in them... Thanks again, Carl |

No more nails on a roll will do it just fine. I tried double sided tape and sticky pads and prefer this method.

The best 'retail' double-sided self adhesive foam tape for this job is Sellotape's Sticky Fixer Strip 25mm x 3m roll. Used on a properly prepared (cleaned) panel, this stuff is unbeatable IMHO.
