Corrosion Prevention
General
The vehicles chassis is an assembly of riveted and bonded aluminium extrusions. The
aluminium is anodized and does not require under-seal to protect it from surface corrosion.
The exterior panels are made of Sheet Molding Composite (SMC).
Apply sealant to prevent water ingress between panels and components installed in the
conversion.
Repairing Damaged Paint
If you cut or drill into painted SMC panels it is not necessary to apply paint to edge of the
material.
NOTE
For additional information or technical support contact [email protected].
Under Body Protection
The wheel arch liners and under trays supplied with the vehicle must be installed on the vehicle
when the conversion is complete. The liners and under trays protect the chassis, pipes, hoses
and electrical components from debris and water.
Painting Road Wheels

Galvanic Corrosion
If you attach steel or stainless steel components to aluminium structure there is a risk of
galvanic corrosion. Use appropriate isolation materials to prevent surface contact between the
two different metals and the ingress of water.
Frame and Body Mounting
Installing additional fasteners
– Do not drill into structural adhesive or close to bonded sections of the aluminium structure.
