CAUTION
During temporary mounting, it is extremely important to
obtain accurate measurements for each component. The
mounting positions for the front and rear suspensions are
especially crucial with regard to safety; therefore, it is nec-
essary that all work concerning these areas be done care-
fully and correctly.
13.Temporary mounting of new parts
1. In order to bring the new parts into the proper mounting
position, measure each part carefully and make any correc-
tions necessary in order to obtain agreement with the mea-
surements.
2. In addition, make temporary welds, and then check to con-
firm that the closing and fit of the doors, fenders, etc., are
correct.
For parts which should be symmetrical to the body center,
measure the distances from the body center point to both
the left part and the right part, and confirm that the dis-
tances are the same.
CAUTION
Weld completely so that there are no pinholes.
14.Butt welding
For burr welding, make a 10 to 15 mm (0.4 to 0.6 inch) MIG
spot weld, and then, in order to prevent warping which might
be caused by the welding heat, complete the welding by
making welds of the specified width at alternate positions.
