Always take measurements before
installing underbody or engine com-
ponents to insure correct assembly.
After installation, confirm proper
fit.WELDING PRECAUTIONS
1. The number of welding
spots should be as follows.
Spot weld: 1.3 x No. of
manufacturer's spots.
Plug weld: More than No. of
manufacturer's plugs.POST WELDING REFINISHING
