Unless otherwise stated, bodywork parts must be welded together. For optimum results, the sheet metal sections should be edge to edge when the joint is welded. The best way of obtaining an exact fit between the spare part and the body is to cut the sheet metal sections as follows:
• |
Cut the spare part so that it overlaps the intended joint line by about three centimetres.
|
• |
Cut the damaged part of the body so that it overlaps the intended joint line by about three centimetres.
|
• |
Position the spare part and align it exactly by means of the aligning bench measuring system. Also refit the undamaged bodywork parts that were previously removed and check the fit and alignment of the spare part.
|
• |
Cut through both sheet metal sections at the intended joint line.
