Anchoring Cars with Sill Damage
This procedure is used for fitting the Wedge Clamp Anchoring System to a vehicle that
has received minor sill damage:
Anchoring cars with Minor Sill Damage
1.
Raise the front of the vehicle and attach pinchweld clamps to a section of the
pinchweld flange if possible. Ignore the angle of the clamp on the damaged side.
2.
Slide the anchoring crossbar through both clamps and wedge the bar into place on
the undamaged side firmly. Place the wedges through the clamps on the damaged
side from the inside of the car pointing out so that the pinchweld clamp can slide
on the anchoring crossbar.
3.
Raise the rear of the car and repeat the same process as for the front.
4.
Install the anchoring side bar on the undamaged side.
5.
Tighten down the anchoring stands on the undamaged side. With the chainless
system, wedge the anchoring crossbar firmly to the anchoring stand.
6.
Repair the damaged side by pulling on the pinchweld clamp. This may be done by
wrapping a chain around the clamp up high against the pinchweld.
