The frame is a hollow profile construction made from pressed panel parts. In order to ensure correct provision is made to
secure the custom bodies in place, the following precautionary measures have been taken with regards to the
construction.
Consoles have been welded to the longitudinal members, which serve as a means
of securing the custom bodies. Each console features a drilling of D=11.5 mm.
The attachment of body to vehicle frame should always be carried out using all consoles. The bolted connection to the
consoles should always be a flush bonded one.
The gap between the consoles above the vehicle frame should be padded out.
