Arranging shaped parts for cavity bulkhead
To reduce interior noise, certain areas of the body can have the cavities sealed. To do this, shaped parts are inserted
in the cavities. The shaped parts expand to fit the contact faces perfectly by heating the body to approx. 180
°
C and
holding the temperature for approx. 20 minutes.
Since it is not possible during body repairs to heat the body up and maintain it at the temperature for long enough, the
following procedure has been defined for this eventuality.
This procedure is described in
