Positioning and checking

• Using a rotary brush, clean the areas concerned by welding.

1. Apply the high thickness electric welding protection on the coupling parts with the wheelhouse involved by spot welding.

• Apply the electric welding protection to be brushed on the remaining areas involved by spot welding.

2. Using a circular blade saw, trim the sheet metal eliminating the excess, without damaging the sheet metal below.

POSITIONING AND CHECKING

• Position the inner side frame joining the edges to be welded and fasten using clamps.
• Check the squareness, lights and angles refitting the components removed previously with the associated seals and parts which, once assembled make it possible to check that the operations have been carried out to perfection.

• Remove the assembled components to check for correct positioning of the inner side frame.

WELDING AND FINISHING OF SHEET METAL PIECE

1. Using a spot welder, proceed with tacking.
2. Using a spot welder or where necessary, an MIG welder, proceed as illustrated.
