How do you guys mount the body mount strips that are just bonded in place I assume in the rear area of the nomad? What is the best product for this application?
Thanks

If you're talking about the rubber strips on top of the frame, I'd use Permatex "Ultra Black".....I used it on my clutch fork boot and the stuff is really strong!

I just left them off on mine, but I would think a weather strip adhesive would work fine also.
Originals are taped in place and a rubber band I think. Not real pretty.
Thanks Cnut I am referring to the strips.
Nick I responded to you in the thread on the other site accordingly sorry I wasn't more clear about what I was talking about.
Rocky? Did you retain for reuse the original rub strips? Or did you find a source for new ones? those things seem to be 'insurance' against rubbing between body and frame, but in most cases I've seen they don't come into contact there... (in the hump up area)...
Soooo.. where did you find replacements/repros?? The ones I've seen are for early Corvettes and are a different size...
It's probably correctly sized if you bought it from the guys at Ol'55 (East Coast chevys).. No issues as far as I know, but on my cars, they weren't hitting the body but were still glued in place...
PS. I bought some extra (new) ones off ebay and it turns out they are smaller (for early Corvette body/frame contact areas).. made the same but smaller.
