Are you installing a new wheel housing or a repair. I did a repair with SMC Adhesive 8227 by bonding a backing panel over a crack in the housing.

Here's the website for US Chemical and Plastics .... they don't list any System 2000 Adhesives on the Products page, so you may want to contact them and see if they discontinued the products, or maybe sold them to another manufacturer ....

http://www.uschem.com/

The manual also lists PLIOGRIP by Ashland (now marketed as PLIOGRIP by Valvoline) as an alternative .....

http://www.pliogripbyvalvoline.com/

Notice that under SMC repair they list a Plastic Panel 35 and under Panel Bonding they list a Panel 60 product that is specifically listed as bonding to bare metal.

Good luck,
