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.

A4.2 BODY STRUCTURE
A4.2.1
Introduction
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.
n@#pn.s..v..
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).

Internal brackets, fillets and strengtheners.

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.
