Default Boot Lid Tool Kit Repair

Hello

When i got my A8 the tool kit that was usually fixed to the boot lid was in the boot with 3 fixings broken so i was thinking of a way to repair it as i was shocked at the price of a replacement tool kit holder.

I repaired an Eames lounge chair a while ago where i had to bond a rubber puck to the wood laminate shell , in my research for what to use too bond i came accross pc7 which is a 2 part epoxy , once mixed and cured its extremely strong and can be drilled , tapped ,sanded etc.

So i thought why not , i mixed some PC7 and set to work on re-ataching the broken fixings.

To my suprise the next morning it had set and was solid as a rock.

refitted it onto the bootlid and it is still there now with all the tools in after many boot closings.

I will post some more pics of it in situ when i get a chance.
