Fitting Aerocatches. How hard, what tools do I need.

[Fletcher]

I am thinking of fitting a set of Aerocatches to the 172. I am having problems with the standard bonnet ( it won't close property ATM) and I will eventaully have some ITBs fitted, so would need some aerocatches then.

Any advice of a decent guide would be great, cheers Fletch.

It can't be too hard just get your dremel out, can always buy another bonnet

Jigsaw and lots of masking tape, small Dremel if carbon or aluminium bonnet

Good stuff. I've got a dremel, and plenty and disc cutters etc. I'll get a set ordered ASAP.

Do you need a hand? I remember cutting up an old shed in the garden so have transferrable skills :rasp:

I use drills, an air saw, and an air die-grinder. Also need lots of masking tape and sheets/boxes etc to cover the screen and bodywork

didn't get many pictures, but....

Yes Tim a hand fitting them would be great.

Thanks for all the advice guys

Danny where did you get/ buy your aerocatches from?

Make sure you get the carbon look aerocatches. I'd try Merlin Motorsport or Demon Tweeks.
