Universal body straightening angle set and portal gauge (Car Bench)
all models
Situation:
Universal straightening angle set:
For optimised body repairs, an additional universal body straightening angle set is
recommended. As this system does not use model-specific straightening attachments,
future investment costs will be kept to a minimum.
The setup diagrams supplied allow repairs to be carried out on non-BMW vehicles (e.g.
second-hand cars).
The universal straightening angle set can be fitted in place of the mini straightening angle
set recommended to date (i.e. basics are: straightening bench, cross beams and basic
system).
Note:
The mini straightening angle set will remain available until further notice.
Portal gauge:
With its vehicle-specific attachments, the portal gauge allows comprehensive body repairs
in the following areas:
-
A and B-pillar
-
Tailgate hinge
-
Cowl panel
-
Folding top base
-
Rear seat backrest catches
Using the portal gauge can in some cases prevent the cost-intensive replacement of the
bodyshell.
Procedure:
These tools will only be supplied to order as store tools.
