HOW BODY DIMENSIONS

AND MEASUREMENT
ARE INDICATED :

Projected

dimension

Projected dimensions These are the dimensions measured when the me,asurement points are projected into a reference plane, and are the reference dimensions used for body alterations.

Probe

F1812E

MEASUREMENT

METHODS

(using a tracking

gauge)

1. How to measure projected dimensions If the length of the tracking gauge probes are adjustable, make the measurement by lengthening one probe by the
amount equivalent to the difference in height of the two
Hole center

surfaces. 2. If hole diameters are the same and the probes are conical, insert the probes into the holes, and then make the measurement. This method of measurement should be used if the diameters of the holes in the location to be measured are the same. 3. If hole diameters are different, or if the' probes are
pointed, measurement from the hole centers is impos-

sible. The circumferences must be used instead.
How to Determine Desired dimension Dimensions :

Measurement points are determined as follows: 1. If the measurement is to be made from the hole centers, the point at the surface from which the measuring instrument is applied is the measurement point. 2. If the measurement is to be made from the circumferences of the holes, the point at the hole circumference of the surface from which the measuring instrument is applied is the measurement point.

3. Check the side frames, crossmembers, and brackets for cracks or separated welds, by tapping them with a test ham,mer. (15W5 18) If in doubt, polish the. frame surface well and check it with a crack detecting agent (liedcheck, etc.). 4. Check the frame for bends and distortion. `-- Correct if not within specifications. . .I

INSTALLATION 1. Install the front suspension crossmember. , NOTE -' It isimportant that the bolts be installed from therear. .`. .' 3: (15W519) 2. When replacing the floor plug, be sure to apply an appropriate amount of semi drying sealant.

REPAIR When a crack is found in the frame, it should be repaired as follows: 1. Using a 6-8 mm drill, drill a stop hole at a point l-3 mm (.04-. 12 in.) from each end of the crack. 2. Countersink each hole with a 1O-l 2 mm (.4-.5 `in.) drill.

3. Make a groove along the crack by using a chisel or gouge. 4. Fill the groove and the stop holes completely with 2-3 -layers of electric-arc welding.

5. Finish the welded area with a grinder.
Caution Do not use gas welding; doing so could cause distortion. Use care to prevent thinning the frame itself by excessive grinding.

6. Make a patch of an angle steel stock as illustrated. (15S511) 7. Use an angle steel stock of the same material and thickness as frame. 8. To prevent stress concentration on the patch, make sure that its corners are cut away obliquely. 9. The patch should be long enough so that the ends properly extend beyond the crack. 10. Make sure that edges of the patch are not positioned near spring hangers, crossmember ends or other points subject to concentrated loads.

11. Arc weld the patch at points about 10 mm (.4 in.) from the crest of the patch to avoid stress concentration. (D15507) 12. Clean the welded area and apply chassisblack.
