Body Sealant (Sikaflex) ?

[shoab]

Could someone let me know what sealant they used after putting the body back on. That is, around areas such as the fuel filler pipe in the boot and around the seat belt bolts where they go through the GRP into the chassis mountings. I thought Sikaflex would be the way to go but there are dozens of numbers in the range. It just needs to seal out the water ingress but does not need to be an aggressive adhesive. Sika is much better than the usual silicone type sealants ?

Looks like 515 might be an option

515 looks about right if you just need a sealant or possibly 521-UV if its exposed to a lot of weather and light.

If it's any help I used Sikaflex 291 (available from Yacht chandlers etc.)

Seems to do the job, spent ages trying to workout which number product to use..

Good luck
