Chimaera Boot Hinges (well almost).

Hi Guys,

When washing the car at the weekend the small "C" shaped piece of trim thats attached to the boot (not actually the hinge, the bit that makes the hinge look like a complete circle) fell off lol...

Any idea where I can buy new ones?

I know could just stick the old one back on but its rather tarnished.

Also, what would be the best thing to glue it back on with...

Cheers
James

It's only ally and will polish if not too tarnished. I got some from David Gerald but came as a complete flanged 'tube', needing the relevant section or arc to be cut out.

Can't remember what I stuck it with but would prolly use sikkaflex or similar now.

Used "Sticks Like sh*t" (actual name) from Jewsons for the same job. Did it the day before Rockingham in 2006 and still fine (also used on door kick plates.

IIRC it is designed even to work under water !!

Having said that, Sikaflex could well be just as good but wear latex gloves and don't spread it everywhere as it is nasty stuff.

Polish and stick it back on...

No need to buy new ones.
