Particular attention must be given to the following points:
- Welding to the bearing structures of the chassis is explicitly prohibited (with the exception of the items described at points
2.3.4, 2.4 e 2.5);
- Holes in the flanges of the side members are not permitted (except for the items described at point 2.3.4);
- Where riveted connections exist and can be modified as explained below, these c an be replaced by flanged-head screws and
nuts of min. c lass 8.8 or by hex screws of the next greater diameter and self lockin g nut s. Screws greater t h an M12 must n o t
be used (max. diameter of hole 13 mm) unless otherwise specified.
- In cases where the original joints were detached and rejoined with bolts it is forbidden to reuse the same bolts. In th is event
and when rivet s are replaced with bolts, the bolt torque must be ch ecked after the vehicle has been driven approximately 500
÷ 1.000 kms.

of brake lines and particularly if these are of plastic material or electric wiring, care must be
