Warning

It is extremely important for satisfactory spot extraction equipment to be provided in areas where heat is generated by the work carried out there, such as welding, grinding, cutting and drilling.

Complement this with effective respiratory protection like a face mask with charcoal filter or better still a fresh-air mask.

When heated, all paints, sealants, adhesives and anti-corrosion agents emit substances that are harmful to health.


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.
