I've just removed my Cerbs orange front indicators. Can anyone recommend sealant/adhesive to fix the new clear indicators in with. Perferably rapid set?????

Sikaflex usually the stuff to use I think.

TVR and dealers also use a Wurth product called 'Bond and Seal'.I've used it and its superb.

Sikaflex is the strongest when set. I used outdoor "no more nails." Been ok now for 5mths. Little tip.. blob supa glue in a couple of places for an instant fix whilst the adhesive goes off. Steve.

Top tip mate - it worked a treat. Waiting for adhesive to cure now. At last those Oranges are gone.

The difference between Gripfill and Sikaflex is that the Gripfill is a rigid material and the Sikaflex is flexible.

What does this mean? If there is any slight flex in the body around the lights the Sikaflex will accommodate this movement and the Gripfill could crack or potentially the lights could crack!

If you go into a builders merchant such as Builder Centre/Travis Perkins then you can buy Sikaflex EBT which I think will be cheaper than Gripfill anyway.
