what works best to glue down frame pads?

Post by roadstermike »

I have a reinforced rubber type pad that I am going to use and I've been loking around at all the possibilities of glue or epoxy type products and now I am more confused than when I tarted to look. I thought of using a liquid nails type product but there are 15 to choose from. So I thought it would be easier to ask than experiment. What specific product has anyone used with good results? Appreciate the feedback.

The weight of the body will normally keep it in place.

I used a 3M spray adhesive. Ross is right that the body should hold it in place. I used about a 1/4" rubber pad instead of the horse hair, and I knew the body was coming on and off a few more times, so I used the 3M spray to hold it in place. I also used it to hold the square body bolt pads to the clip when I bolted down the car. If you are putting new sound deadener inside the car, it works too!
