▶ It is necessary to create continuity of support between the profiles of the subframe and those
of the chassis; if this is not obtained, the continuity can be restored by means of interposition of
strips of sheet metal or light alloy.
If there is to be a rubber undercrawl element we recommend characteristics and thicknesses similar to those used for normal
production (hardness 80 Shore, max thickness 3 mm). Its use can prevent abrasive actions that can cause corrosion in the joining
between materials of different composition (e.g. aluminium and steel).
The dimensions specified for the side members of the various types of superstructures are the recommended minimum values
and, as a rule, are valid for vehicles with standard wheelbases and rear overhangs (see Tables 3.3 to 3.5). In all cases similar profiles
