    For a bonding agent I went by a local auto glass company and asked what they used. Had a nice conversation with the guys there explaining what I was doing and ended up with them giving me an opened tube of the bonding agent they used. Even gave me a hand full of tips to use.

    What did you use? Also, were these brackets a great improvement for you?

    It was some sort of a glass glue that had the consistency of tar and looked like it. The brackets were a help however if you have play in your window track, the piece that the bracket attaches to, you will still have some rock to the window. I've seen where some folks, LDub I think, had enlarged the openings of the window track to give it a bit of an angle to off set the play in the regulator.

    I'd think you'd need more than epoxy to mount a small block cheby (SBC)!!!
