The flaps are glued with 5-minute epoxy. It works well providing the mating surfaces are well “roughed up” and of course all the soap used during the annealing process has been cleaned off! Cyano also works well.

I’ve also used 5-minute epoxy to glue the finished air scoop to the former; in fact I use epoxy for every glue joint in the engine compartment, whether or not it needs it from a strength point of view, because it’s fuel proof.
