Preparing the spare part
Before fitting it on the vehicle, the replacement part should be prepared in the following way:
- remove the anti-corrosion protective treatment from the entire perimeter of the replacement part using a disc grinder;
- apply the galvanizing protective to the areas which have previously been ground and will later be welded;
NOTE Use IVI Epox type epoxide primer or an electro-weldable galvanized paint or an equivalent product.
- open the side tabs using a hammer and chisel to allow the subsequent insertion of the replacement part.
