ExTERIOR
Side Framing and Skins
The frame structure is made of rectangular alumi-
num extrusions bolted together using cobolt/gusset
construction.
Aluminum is used for the exterior skins because
it is durable and does not rust. Refer to the “Body
Repair and Painting” section of this chapter for
repair and painting instructions.
Aluminum is used for lower skirt panels and for
access doors, which are hinged panels used to
enclose component and accessory compartments
around the vehicle.
Cobolt/Gusset Connections
To achieve a perfect rotation of the clamping plate
in its final position, the plate must be able to turn
freely. Therefore the clearance between gusset and
clamping plate must be at least 5mm (see Figure
11-1).
The screw must be screwed in by 1 to 1 1/2 turns
into the thread of the clamping plate, until a slight
resistance of the red self-locking agent can be felt.
This self-locking agent will prevent the screw from
coming loose, once the screw is completely tight-
ened.
Never reuse Torx screws and
clamping plates! After installation,
you have 15 minutes to make
adjustments before the locking
agent dries. If installation must
be redone, ALWAYS use new Torx
screws and new clamping plates!
In addition, always check that the
gusset is in perfect condition with
no cracks or deformities.
