Repositioning Parts and Mounting Auxiliary Assemblies and Equipment
Whenever, in the course of modifying the vehicle, it should become necessary to reposition assemblies such as the fuel tank,
batteries or the spare wheel, such relocation is permitted provided that the functioning of these parts is not impaired and provided
that the same type of connections as originally in use are re-employed. Their transversal location on the vehicle’s chassis may not,
when their weight requires it, be changed radically.
Spare wheel carrier
In the case of chassis cabs not equipped with a spare wheel carrier, and vehicles in which the spare wheel carrier must be
relocated, the spare wheel must be set on a support of suitable size that allows the wheel to be readily removed.
To secure the spare wheel to the side of the vehicle with a support attached to the web of the side member, it is advisable to use
a local reinforcing plate on the inside or outside of the side member. The size of this plate must take into account both the weight
of the wheel and the possible presence of other reinforcements on the side member.
In order to limit the torsional stresses on the vehicle chassis, we recommend that the plate be fitted where there is a cross
member, particularly in the case of heavy units.
A similar procedure should be adopted when fitting additional units such as tanks, compressors etc. When positioning them, due
consideration must be given to the distribution of the weights (see point 1.13). Adequate ground clearance must be ensured with
due consideration given to the operation of the vehicle.
Any new holes that are necessary for the relocation must be made in the web of the sidemember in accordance with the
specifications given in point 2.3 taking care to use existing holes as much as possible.
