Okay,

Three times I have glued the studs on the back of the dash and each time I fit it one pops off. So it's dash out again and Araldite in the bin! What's the best glue I can use to make a permanent fix of metal plate to metal plate?
Thanks

Guys
Thanks for the advice.
I have tried the precision Araldite and Everbuild epoxy, 4 attempts now and the Everbuild broke off this am! Just as well I am a patient man lol! I have cleand up both surfaces, scored them like a mad man and tried the serious stuff recommended with the plastic padding in reserve. So attempt five, only 24 hours to wait, at least there's foot all afternoon!

What are you cleaning the surfaces with Ian?
surface prep is everything with the use of glues
Sanded down and compressed air, will see if it works tomoz!
