Warning
It is extremely important that adequate local extraction
is available when carrying out work that generates heat,
e.g. welding, grinding, cutting and drilling.
Therefore, supplementary respiratory protection such
as a respirator with carbon filter or, preferably, oxygen
supply should be used.
All paints, sealants, adhesives and anti-corrosion
agents emit dangerous substances when heated.
Joins in the bodywork must be all-welded unless
otherwise stated. For best results, the metal sheets
should be placed edge-to-edge for welding. To obtain
an optimum fit between the spare part and existing
bodywork, cut the sheets as described below:
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 join 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.
