Figure 6
Reinforcements on the chassis
Figure 7 shows some examples of possible solutions.
The reinforcements must be continuous and extend over the entire length of the vehicle's chassis, up to the cab. To connect them
to the side member, in the case of an angle profile, rivets or screws of resistance class 8.8 must be used; diameter and distribution
must ensure that the profile provides the expected reinforcement resistance.
We recommend creating a cut-resistant joint in the area of the rear overhang and for about half of the wheelbase length (and
always for lengths of at least 2 m from the front axle).
On the chassis converted in this way, bending stresses must be envisaged that do not exceed those of the chassis of the original
vehicle in the corresponding sections.

To avoid affecting the resistance of the original sections, reinforcement plates may not be mounted directly onto the side member
wings via holes filled with welding material;
