Cracking Rear Deck By jcamaro (Read 744 times)

I have a New 300cc Tornado with less then 300 miles on it and the rear deck is cracking by the mounting screws. Does anyone have a idea how to stop this from getting worse? I have tried the bigger washer setup and thick undercoat but is has not slowed it down. I was going to put diamond plate strips on but I have rubber grommets that go through the deck. When you take the grommet out there is a bigger hole then the screw. I can't put the plate over the rubber grommet because then it does not fit flush. I have thought about using Dyna Mat which is stuck on the inside of the cars quarter panals so they don't vibirate so bad with the bass. It's like a thick tar paper and fly paper. Any other ideas out there would help, Thanks

Can you post some pictures that will give me a better idea of the problem? I'm very good at metal fabrication but I'm not familiar with the trike set up like Alley is.

I'm betting we can figure out a solution.

Jcamero,
Take the rubber grommets out and cut out some diamond plates that will spread the pressure across a greater area and stop the cracking. Does not matter if there is a bigger hole in the fenders with the rubber grommet out. They put those in hope that it would stop the cracking NOT THAT IT WOULD. But make sure you have some cushion under the fenders against any part that the fenders touch metal.

NAPA sells a 2 part epoxy that works very well to fix the cracks.
