Cannonball Bob Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Ok, I give up. What manner of witchcraft must one summon in order to get these blasted things to actually stay put? It's not the interference fit of the inserts in the seats. It's not contact adhesive. It's not silicone sealant. It's not Araldite. Anyone?

rgrigsby Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Give Tillet a call, they had a batch of dodgy ones that didn't stick properly. I believe they have sorted this now and you can get replacements for not very money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonball Bob Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 S'cuse me? They sent out dodgy ones and I have to spend more to put it right? Got 'em from Caterham anyway. Edited by - Cannonball Bob on 20 Aug 2012 15:20:46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 CBB, have you tried to phone Tillet ? to find a solution ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMorris Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 There is definitely a trick to it - I managed to get some to stay put about 3 years ago. .. ...... ........ can't remember for the life of me what I did though (truthfully I can't). If teh memory comes flooding back then I'll let you know. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonball Bob Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Quoting elie boone: CBB, have you tried to phone Tillet ? to find a solution ? Not yet. Can't really be 🙆🏻'd. I bought said rubber insert thingies to add to the seats and protect the shoulder straps a bit. What I didn't buy in to is some sort of post-production field research in to adhesives and bonding on behalf of Caterham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMolloy Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I used a type of contact superglue for a similar job. (Same problem getting the SVA strip to stick to the edges of the front cycle wings...) You rub both surfaces with the activator (like a felt tip pen) and then apply glue to one side only. Let it go tacky and then join the two surfaces. It sticks within about 30s. The only thing I have found that bonds silicone rubber successfully.
