CHASSIS INTERVENTIONS
2.1
GENERAL CHASSIS MODIFICATION STANDARDS
Keep in mind that:
●
weldings on the supporting structures of the chassis are absolutely forbidden
(except as prescribed in Para-
graph"Weldings" (
➠
Page 9) and in Chapters 2.4 (
➠
Page 15), and 2.5 (
➠
Page 19));
●
no holes may be drilled in the wings of the side members
(except as indicated in Chapter 2.2 (
➠
Page 8) and
Chapter 3.3 Paragraph "Choosing the type of connection" (
➠
Page 11));
●
for cases where modifications to nailed unions are allowed, the nails may be replaced with flanged head screws or with hex
head screws classed 8.8 with the next higher class diameter and nuts fitted with an anti-unscrewing system. Screws larger than
M14 may not be used (maximum hole diameter of 15 mm), unless otherwise specified;
●
for cases where unions that require screws are restored, the suitability of these screws must be checked before being re-
used, and they must be tightened to the appropriate torque;
▶
As regards remounting safety components, it is prohibited to re-use the same screws and tight-
ening must be done at the specified torque (contact the Service Network for the value).
●
for cases involving remounting of safety components where nails are replaced by screws, the union must be checked again
after about 500 - 1000 km of travel.
Preventive measures
▶
When welding, drilling, milling and cutting near brake hoses and electrical wires, be sure to ad-
opt appropriate precautions for their protection; disconnect these parts if necessary (respect
the prescriptions in Chapters 2.15 and 5.7).
