●
Grind off the excess material.
●
Mount steel corner reinforcements that have the same characteristics as the chassis; the minimum indicative sizes are shown in
Figure 3.
Reinforcement anchorage must regard only the vertical rib of the side member and can be realised with a weld bead, staples,
bolts or nails (even Huck nails).
Area and length of the weld bead, number and distribution of staples, number of nails of bolts must be adequate to transmit
the bending and shearing moments.
●
Once work is complete, use anti-rust protection (see Paragraph"Added or Modified Parts" (
➠
Page 12)).
Sealing holes by welding
If new holes are located near old holes, (see Figure 2), these last can be welded shut.
Good results are obtained by:
●
chamfering the outer edge of the hole;
●
applying a copper plate on the inner edge of the side member to hold the welding material;
●
welding the side member on both sides with elimination of all residual material.
Holes of 20 mm diameter can be sealed off by using chamfered washers welded on both sides.
