it really depends on the grade of crabon it is.....i got stuff from boeing that has done sooo many lid skids and the roll bar peice never wanted to delaminate....so unless they uses some Crap SSG composite...then sealing isn't really needed.

put a drop on the edge and rotate the shock tower so it runs along the edge evenly. don't make the drop of glue too big or else it will run down the front or back of the shock tower onto your fingers.

use good CA glue or else it might dry white and ashy instead of clear.

Nice. I'll probably make it out and run 4wd mod, and be jealous of your car. Still thinking of buying the mbx6 or waiting for the hyper 9.

You may want to check your "diff out drive shaft/cups" as I see from the picture there are no grooves in them to retain the grease to stop them seizing up.

I think I read some ware this is a fault in the manufacture and they should have been supplied with the grooves.

You may want to make some enquires.

not the case i posted re the diff outdrives and was waiting for more info which i have now, the outdrives no longer require the groove and is ok like that so dont worry about the lack of grooves they are meant to be like that

soak a Q tip / cotton bud in ca then run this round the tower edges, you get an even application of ca and no runs anywhere, be quick as the ca will start to dry quick it might take a few tips per tower but it works and its clean, also once dry run a perm black marker around the edges to get the nice finish you see on the pro's cars.

p.s. i think you call them Q tips in the US
