Sealing

CAUTION:

• When using the sander, care should be taken to avoid excessively reducing the thickness of the metal sheet as this may adversely affect welding strength.
• Remove metal dust from the surfaces that have been smoothed and the surrounding areas.
• Metal dust may cause corrosion.

1. After welding, remove any securing clamps and eliminate any traces of buckling if present.
2. Apply rust-proofing to the welded components.
3. Apply sealant to the joins.

NOTE: Steps 5 and 6 should be carried out with care in order to avoid corrosion of the welded joins. Refer to the diagrams in the "Sealing" paragraph.

1. Apply a protective coat 4 mm. on thickness to the underbody.
