NOTE: It will be necessary to order the complete front rail and create the sectioning pieces at the same
cut lines.
NOTE: To prevent warping, apply 25 mm. (1 in.) stitch welds until the sectioning joint is completely
welded.
The outer front frame rail (1) sectioning cut line (2) is located 75 mm. (3 in.) forward of the front suspension
crossmember mounting bolt hole (3). A butt-joint with 13 mm. (0.5 in.) weld backer is to be used.
NOTE: Right side shown, left side similar.
