Outrigger Salvation?
Discussion
I have recently been looking for a TVR Chimaera after many many years of Tasmin/280i ownership. I already suffer from a recurring nightmare, where I'm sitting in my dream car, slam the door too hard and the outrigger falls off.
But, I would like peoples opinion on a possible suggested solution.
Could the void between the o/rigger tubing and car bodywork be filled/sealed with silicon rubber?
This could be achieved quite neatly using masking tape (if thought necessary as its hidden underneath anyway).
It should be possible to fully fill the gap just with a standard DIY hand dispenser (specially around the top/most vulnerable place) and hence prevent any future water ingress and corrosion occurring.
It might also help reduce any body rattles/shaking.
There must be a catch, but would welcome any relevant comments/experiences.
