Whats the cleanest way to separate the guards from the rad support while still on the car
i have drilled out all the spot welds and unpicked it near the door jams,
do i just separate the joins around the headlight area?

[RIM-010]

Dunno about cleanest way, but I just cut down the edge of where it joins at the headlight with a chisel. 1mm cutting disc would work well... it's covered by the headlight surrounds anyway, so it didn't matter too much to me...

separate at the joins it will make the job easier when it comes to put them back
on

has anyone seen the guards replaced with bolts insteed of spot welds?

[brocks72xu1]

no ,plenty of fibreglass fronts might have to mig them on and use a die grinder to give you spot weld look unless you can hunt down nos guards
