FITTING OF GRP BODY WORK
1 Placement – Rear Section
1 With the help of an assistant position
the rear section [A] over the chassis. It is
best done by tilting the front up in the
air at about 45°.
2
It should be possible to hook the lower
rear edge under the rear of the chassis
rail.
3 Lower the front down carefully over the
chassis, listen for interference so as not
to damage any panels.
4
The body sides then clip over the chassis
side rails.
NOTE:
The 400mm offset from the bulkhead is a
guide. Check the shut lines of the panels are
correct. 400mm dimension can be ( + - 5mm)
5 With the body resting on the chassis,
adjust the body to achieve a 400mm
offset from the front edge of the rear
bulkhead to the inside lip of the rear
panel and clamp in position.
NOTE:
Do not fit any rivets at this stage, just use
clamps to temporarily hold the panels down.
2 Placement – Scuttle &
Bonnet
1
Place the scuttle [D] in position onto its
mounting blocks. There are two on each
side of the side panels (Fig 2.1).
2.1
2 Place the bonnet [E] on to its locating
blocks (Fig 2.2).
2.2
3
Check the fit and gaps of the panels to
each other, also check that the all the
panels are centered to the chassis (Fig
2.3).
NOTE:
If the panels are not fitting correctly, loosen
the clamps and reposition as required. It
pays to take the time to get this just right
before fixing anything.
2.3
4 Finally recheck the 400mm offset from
the rear bulkhead to the front lip of the
rear panel.
3 Fixing – Rear panel
1 Remove the bonnet and drill a 4.1mm
hole through the pre-drilled hole in the
front upper face of the side panels into
the chassis. The rear hole is not pre
drilled; position it about 25mm forward
from the scuttle face (Fig 3.1).
