Dimensional information

DIMENSIONAL INFORMATION

The following dimensional information is shown so as to assist the technician in the diagnosis and repair of body panels. The information is shown in two different ways. There are X,Y,Z dimensions and actual point to point dimensions.

The X,Y,Z dimensions are the measuring planes used within Rover Group for the measurement of body panels. The whole bodyshell is within a parallel grid system.

The X plane is an imaginary vertical line starting at the front of the vehicle. It is parallel to the body and measures the length of the vehicle.

The Y plane is an imaginary line through the center of the vehicle. All Y dimensions start from this line. As a rule, body dimensions are symmetrical about the centre line.

The Z plane is set at a fixed distance parallel and perpendicular to the underside of the vehicle. All Z dimensions start from this plane.

The point to point measurements are actual distances between two points. These points can be holes or intersection points. Where holes are taken, the point of measurement is always from the hole centre.

All measurements shown are in millimetres.
