The outer corners should have a thickness of not less than that of the side members of the vehicle, they should extend in length
for a distance of at least 2.5 times the height of the side member itself (min 600 mm) and should use a material with the minimum
requirements set out in Chapter 3.3 - Paragraph "Choosing the type of connection" (
➠
Page 11). The fastening to the vertical rib
of the side members must be done with all the union screws of the crossbar to the chassis of the vehicle, integrating them with
others whose number and positioning consider the greater time transmitted. In principle, in the lowerings equivalent to the height
of the side member, an increase in the number of screws equal to about 40% is predicted.
In applying a supplementary crossbar (see Figure 2.13) a central coupling plate must be provided, of thickness suited to that of the
crossbars.
