dutchgold92 Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 In the new year my next job is to get my AJ4 series six spoiler resprayed and refitted. Its lacquer has long since been defeated by the Japanese sun, and the left mounting is probably the source of a very slight boot leak. Few questions on the spoiler: Bolts needed? Is there anything else holding it on, such as glue or clips? Anything else worth mentioning? Quote
Funkysi Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Only bolts in the support. You also have the genuine article which means the supports can be separated from the main spoiler body as it comes in 3 sections. To remove the spoiler from the body, you have 2 bolts either side that are accessible through the boot trim. Once the spoiler has been removed, you'll have further bolts securing the main legs to the table (yes - easiest way to describe it all)!. Take those off, there's also a small seal around each leg at the top. Get the spoiler painted as its 3 separates rather than try to get the bodyshop to paint it all as one. 1 Quote

Any idea on the bolt sizes or part number? Quote
Funkysi Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 No idea - you'll be able to reuse them though I'd imagine. Quote

dutchgold92 Posted December 23, 2015 Author Posted December 23, 2015 Anyone have a part number for the gaskets/seals? Quote

Alic Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I know this is for a different series spoiler to yours, but i t might give you a better idea of how to remove it. http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=technical&msg_id=793373 Keep us posted though as I need to remove my wing soon :) Quote
