INTRODUCTION
This section explains how to mount a car on the Wedge Clamp Anchoring System. The
anchoring system is designed to let you make multiple pulls to a car without changing
the anchoring attachments and without damaging the car in the pulling process.
An important component of the Wedge Clamp System is the specially designed
pinchweld clamps. These four anchoring clamps are identical and are designed to
anchor the car at the lower corners of the passenger compartment torque box area.
These clamps secure the car by its pinchweld flange - the 1 to 2 cm deep flange under
most unibody vehicle sill (rocker) panels. This pinchweld flange usually consists of two
or more layers of sheet metal which are connected to the main structural areas of the
car. (For vehicles without pinchweld flanges refer to the following section “Anchoring
Problems and Solutions” on Page 13 for information on anchoring these cars).
WARNING:
Serious damage or injury can occur if a vehicle is not anchored securely for
pulling. It is your responsibility to evaluate the car and determine the safest anchoring
method. Always check the anchoring points during pulling to be sure that the car
remains securely anchored.
