Hi Spotter,
Well it might not be a sore spot any longer... Why?
I had the same concern when putting underbody panels on the Insight, and there are numerous locations where a wood block was glued to the subframe with thickened epoxy.
1) Choose a good spot for a wood block application
2) Completely seal the wood block with epoxy
3) Sand both the frame location and surface of the wood block that are to be bonded together
4) Mix up epoxy
5) Thicken epoxy with flour (consistent with peanut butter)
- do not use microballs as these are not structural; the bond will be too weak
6) Apply paste to joint and hold in position until hard
7) You now have a nice spot to mount the body panel
Jim.
