Body Structure
Introduction
The standard wheelbase Jaguar sedan has a unit construction monocoque body structure with bolt-on front fenders and
welded rear fenders. The doors feature lif t-off hinges and welded drop-glass frames.
Constructional Steel Classification
BODY ALIGNMENT
The Body Dimensions Plan, and Body Dimensions Side View, provide specified BIW dimensions to facilitate damage
assessment and location of replacemen t parts. These dimensions must be strictly applied when used for damage
assessment, component location or post repair verification.
• NOTE: The right-hand side is always looking towards the front, from the rear of the vehicle.
The nominated plan view master datums are on the right-hand side of the body with the left-hand datums dimensioned
from them. Right-hand datums must therefore be known to be correct before any other cross-car dimensions are checked.
Datum location, Example
The Front Master Datum (front crossmember rear mounting at the inner face of the main floor RH longitudinal) is nominally
359,5mm to the right-hand side of the body center line. The LH side fron t datum is measured 717,0 / 721,0mm from the
RH. Refer to the Body Dimensions Plan.
Expressed as a true posi tion in three planes, the front master datum is:
