in
such a way
that
it
is
impossible
to
lower
the
body
on

jig
with all
of
the checking brackets
on

it
is possible
to
detach either bracket by remov-
ing
the
hexagon-headed dowel
bolt
passing
through
the
bracket, which
can
then
be
pulled off its mounting point.
After
the
correct location
of
the
body
on
the
jig
has
been established
at
the
top
checking faces
on
the
front
frame (2),
and
at
the
top
holes
of
the
front

and
the eight holes
in
the front
and
rear
checking brackets (8
and
9)
on
the
rear
checking
frame should all line
up
by
sight with their corresponding
holes
in
the body.
A parallel clearance
of
! in. (6,35 mm.)
must
exist
between the checking faces
(16)
on
the
front
member
of
the
checking frame
and
the
body
and
between
both
faces
of
each checking
adaptor
(15)
and
the
under

of
the
body
floor.
Examine
the
clearance between the
body
and
the
front
checking frame
at
all points, including
around
the sides
of
the
frame towers.
If
there is a foul
at
any
point,
the
body
must
be
dressed
back
until a clearance is obtained.
The
face
of
the cross-member
at
the
rear
of
the
front
frame musthave a clearance
to
the
body
on
its
top
vertical
face
(6)
of
-1
in. (3'18 mm.).
and
,\
in. (1-6 mm.)
clearance
at
the inclined face (7). Should these clearances
not
be present, the
body
must
be
dressed
back
until
the
requisite clearance is obtained.
A parallel clearance
of
