Measuring procedure and data

Measuring procedure and data

These measurements are suitable to use to decide if the car should be mounted on an alignment jig.

The directions of the measurements are given in the "Direction" column in the table below, as follows:

X = measure lengthwise, along the body

Y = measure sideways, across the body

Z = measure heightwise, up along the side of the body

The digit in the column "Measure" indicates the tolerance for:

1 = engineering measurements according to coordinates

2 = actual measurements, generally direct diagonal measurements

3 = tolerance for best fit

Each coordinate originates from a datum. Since datum line X0 cannot be used in practice, it is not shown.

Datum line Y0. This is the centre line of the body, dividing it into left and right halves. Transverse measurements are specified between two measuring points. To measure the dimension on one side only, mark out the Y0 line between the holes as shown on the drawing and then halve the dimension and tolerance.

Datum line Z0. The line is situated below the body. See pos. 8, 13 and 47.

Other symbols

* = hole centre is the origin for measurements.
