PROCEDURES
19. Always use MIG plug welds where excessive
metal thickness or lack of access make
resistance spot welding impractical. Make plug
welds either by using holes left by the spot weld
cutter, or through holes punched or drilled for the
purpose.
20. Dress all welds using a sander with 36 grit disc,
or a belt-type sander and/or wire brush. When
dressing welds ensure an area as small as
possible is removed to protect the zinc coating.
NOTE: Brazing operations, if required,
must be carried out at this point.
Body Trim
The following panel repair operations itemise body
trim components which must be removed for access
during each repair. See Repairs section.
Because of the unpredictable nature of accident
damage, the items listed make no allowance for any
difficulties which may be found in removal and only
apply to an undamaged vehicle. No allowance is
made for any difficulties which may be found during
panel removal. Damaged body trim items must be
renewed as necessary following body repairs.
