engine liner
#1

I did a search and found no answer. I am adding the engine liners to my car. PET does not show the outer pins on the rear liner, how do you fasten the outer two mounts? I ordered the 6 clamps but I really hate to drill into the towers. Just to clarify the liner I am talking about, rear covers cruise and part of master cyl area, front is the glove box. Thanks Dewane

the early cars have a welded stud on the tower - then plastic nuts hold it down - i have the cover in the white car, which is a later car too, and after 2 years, there is no sign of movement in spite of the absence of anything at those 2 locations - the clips seem to be doing a fine job

The rear cover has clips fopr the top of the firewall under the rubber stripping. Don't have information to source the parts.

he noted the 6 clips ("or "clamps" as he called them) - he was referring to the remaining 2 mounting points toward the front of the rear cover - those are the ones to which i referred

Hey Maybe this is another product that needs to be developed ;-)

I have mine lying loose in there for the bast 1,5 years and it's fine. But the anal part of me still wants to fasten it every time I do something in the engine bay [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Mines just lying there also. Makes you wonder, who's actually using the plastic knobs???

on the blue car, i use the nuts on the one on the rear and the knobs on the one on the front

on the white car, i use none of the above, and only the clips on the one on the rear

I use my nuts too! No, wait that came out wrong......take 2.......I use the supplied mounting brackets with the twist and lock plastic bolts to secure my engine bay trim cover. There, that's better. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

Thanks for the answers. Kind of figured the early cars had a stud or captured nut.

it would really be helpful if people differentiated between the rear and front covers - the rear cover has no turn nuts and no brackets - that is for the front cover

the rear cover has 6 clips and two welded in studs (which get plastic 10mm hex head nuts)

yup - i haven't seen any signs of scuffing or anything from the covers on the white car moving around either - of course, on the white car i have not done the airbox mod, which would cause some movement on the front one - i also have both of the under-pans that car came with, which reduce upward engine bay airflow, thereby limiting how much the rear one would move upward
