WARNING: Excessive heat can build up
from the exhaust system, in particular
from the catalytic converter. Ensure
adequate heat shields are maintained.
CAUTION: Uneven load distribution could
result in unacceptable handling and
braking characteristics.
When carrying out vehicle
conversions/modifications the following points
should be considered:
•
Make sure that all of the reinforced holes
provided in the chassis frame top surface are
used for full length bodies or sub-frames, see
Figures E167667, E167668, E167669 and
E167670
•
Make sure that the vehicle structural integrity
is maintained
•
Do not drill into closed frame body members
•
Make sure that the design for the body
alterations or additional structure disperse the
load evenly
•
Re-paint metal edges after cutting or drilling.
All metal edges must comply with exterior and
interior protection legislation
•
All fixings through the floor, sides or roof must
be sealed
Refer to: 5.14 Corrosion Prevention (page 280).
•
Ensure that any additional equipment in the
vicinity of the fuel tank will not damage the
tank in a crash condition
NOTE: The reinforcement plate in cab back panel
to chassis member area must be maintained. Do
not drill or cut into this area, see figure E167672.
For additional information:
•
Refer to: 5.15 Frame and Body Mounting (page
281).
•
Refer to: 5.13 Roof (page 277).
For any conversion structure attached to or
mounted onto the base vehicle cab structure the
following applies:
•
Ensure that neither the conversion structure
nor the existing vehicle structure get
pre-loaded by the assembly process
•
Adhesive jointing is recommended but should
be supplemented with mechanical fasteners
to prevent initial peel and long term failure
•
Spread bolt loads to minimize local stress
