I - PRINCIPLE REFERENCE POINTS FOR SETTING VEHICLE TRIM LEVEL
A - FRONT SUB-FRAME REAR MOUNTING
It is the main front reference point.
1 - Front mechanical units removed
NOTE:
on the left hand side the hole is round,
on the right hand side it is a slot.
When replacing the rear section of the side member,
this reference point is replaced provisionally by
point (M), located on the seat cross member, point (A)
being used to position the replaced component.2 - Front mechanical units in place
The bracket covers the sub-frame mounting bolt.
NOTE: the two sides are not symmetrical, on the right
hand side the mounting is set on the rubber mounting.
If the rear of the vehicle is being rebuilt, these two
points alone may be used to align and support the
front of the vehicle.
It may be used for a light rear impact without removing
the rear axle.

I - PRINCIPLE REFERENCE POINTS FOR SETTING VEHICLE TRIM LEVEL (cont.)
B - REAR SUB-FRAME FRONT MOUNTING
It is the main rear reference point.
1 - Front mechanical units removed
The bracket rests under the rear axle assembly
mounting unit and is centred in the sub-frame
mounting hole.
If replacing the complete rear side member or the rear
floor unit, this reference point is replaced by point (M),
located on the seat cross member, point (B) being
used to position the replaced component.2 - Front mechanical units in place
The bracket covers the sub-frame mounting bolt.
If the front section is being rebuilt, these two points
alone can be used to align and support the rear of the
vehicle.

II - ADDITIONAL REFERENCE POINTS FOR SETTING VEHICLE TRIM LEVEL
These are the provisional reference points which replace the main points, when they have been affected by the
impact.
M - SUPPORT UNDER FRONT FLOOR
(seat cross member)
Point M is also used to position the replaced part.G - FRONT SIDE MEMBER REAR END
This point is also used as a positioning reference when
replacing a rear section of the front side member.
These points enable the vehicle to be supported in addition to the main reference point on the impact side and allow
only relatively accurate alignment of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT NOTE: these reference points should only be used in the cases mentioned above. They are not
required when both the main reference points (points A and B) are correct.
This additional reference function may also be filled by the front side member ends check points for a rear impact
and vice versa.
