I usually use the quick set, but in your heat it may set too quickly. I am usually doing just one or two at a time so good for me. Only gotcha is that JB Weld conducts electricity, so don’t pot any electronics in it. Don’t ask me how I know.

Cheers,

Jay

 Did you use the quickset or the longer cure version, Jay?

My experience is like Sam’s that flox mounted hardware sometimes breaks  loose (despite very careful surface prep). I have never had this happen with a ClickBond fastener, nor a metal fastener bonded with JB Weld, hence my choice of JB weld over flox for fasteners.

Cheers,

My experience with flox mounted bolts/screws is sooner or later they break off.

I like keeping it simple. You can just install t-ee nuts on the back side of the firewall. You can use pop rivets to hold them in place.

The other non-elegant thing that I do, is to simply drill a 3/16" hole and creatively use wire ties. I try not to do that too often though. Then I caulk the hole with RTV type goo.

Is there a recommended mounting method for firewall components ... Thru bolt or flox mounted bolts?
