A4.2.1.1 Constructional Steel Classification
Material 1 dnnlirdiam I
High strength low alloy (HLSA).
Double sided zinc plated mild steel.
1 Boron steel
1 Mild steel.
A4.2.2 BODY ALIGNMENT
The illustrations on pages 11 - Body Dimensions PLAN, and 13 -Body Dimensions SIDE VIEW, provide specifications
for damage assessment and location of replacement parts.
These dimensions must be strictly applied whether they are used for damage assessment, component location or post
repair verification.
The plan view MASTER datums are nominated on the right
-hand side of the body with the left-hand datums dimen- sioned from them. Therefore, the right-hand datums must be known to be correct before any other cross-ar dimen- sions are checked.
W: The right-hand side is always looking towards the front, from the rear of the vehicle.
All dimensions are derived from a single
(ZERO) datum point for all three axes; X for length, Z for height and V cross- car.

The Jaguar sedan range (with standard wheelbase) has a unit construction monocoque body structure with bolt-on
front fenders and welded rear fenders. The doors feature 'lift-off' hinges and welded dropglass frames.

Impact prone areas, ie. seat frame and bumper mount- ings.
Exterior body panels subject to severe conditions such
as stone chipping and weather exposure (excluding
roof panel).

Body Systems & Body Repair
A4.6.1.5 Fitted Condition (Rear)
The following procedures may apply should any part of the bumper mounting system, or cover, be renewed but should
not be necessary if the cover is removed for service reasons.
. The rear mountings must initially be set for 'cross car' pitch and center within the clearances around the strut to body
. To initially achieve the relationship between the bumpertop face and the rear panel, the strut height adjustersshould

conditions.
Access to the beam height adjusters may be made with the cover fitted by removing the tailpipe trims.
. With the bumper correctly adjusted to the body and all fixings tightened to specification, it is important that the ex-
haust tailpipes are then centered within the bumper cover cut-outs. This may be achieved by slackening the rear
section clamp and rotating the rear exhaust assembly. Please note that this may only be achieved before the tailpipe
trims are fitted; these must also be correctly aligned for good appearance.

A4.6.3 REFINISHING
The paint refinishing system must be approved by Jaguar Cars Ltd., and be appropriate for polyurethane substrate
application. It is important that the finishing clear lacquer includes a plasticising ingredient (mixed to the manufac-
turer's recommendation) to reflect the 'semi-flex' condition of the factory finished item.
The effect of heat decreases the cover rigidity to the point that paint
-cure temperatures require that the cover must
be supported to prevent distortion and sagging; these comments apply to 'off-car' repairs.
A4.6.3.1 Original
On an original unit where damage has been repaired, the beam will provide sufficient support for the forward part of
the unit. It is recommended that the side armatures are supported as they would be on the vehicle.
A4.6.3.2 New
Where a new cover is required, the beam may be temporarily fitted priorto painting to provide the necessary support.
A4.6.3.3 All
Asimple jig (Fig. 1)should be madeto hold the unit in thecorrect working attitude for both damage repair and refinish- ing.
CAUTION: During heat cure, the effective panel temperature must not exd 95OC.

A4.6.4 REPLACEMENT COVERS
Replacement covers will be supplied in a primed condition and therefore must be finished in accordance with A4.6.3,
this page.
Bumper covers and replacement fixings such as bumper beam adjusters and guide blocks must be fitted and adjusted
as detailed in
A4.6.1.4 and A4.6.1.5, this section.
A4.6.5 RECYCLED
MATERIALS - GENERAL NOTE
The aluminium bumper beam, as fitted to North American specification vehicles, should not be over-looked as a com- ponent for recycling.
Side armatures will be fully assembled in replacement bumper covers, please see 'note' Recycled materials, this sec
