SEALING AND CORROSION PROTECTION CAVITY WAX
Cavity Wax Injection
Box sections treated with cavity wax are shown in this
section. Repairs affecting these areas must include
re-treatment with an approved cavity wax, using the
access points illustrated. In addition, all interior
surfaces which have been disturbed during repairs
must be wax injected whether they have been treated
in production or not. This includes all box members,
cavities, door interiors etc. It is permissible to drill
extra holes for access where necessary, provided
these are not positioned in load-bearing members.
Ensure that such holes are treated with a suitable zinc
rich primer, brushed with wax and then sealed with a
rubber grommet.
Prior to wax injection, ensure that the cavity to be
treated is free from any contamination or foreign
matter. Where necessary, clear out any debris using a
compressed air supply.
Carry out wax injection after final paint operations.
During application, ensure that the wax covers all
flange and seam areas and that it is applied to all
repaired areas of both new and existing panels.
NOTE: Apply cavity wax AFTER the final
paint process and BEFORE refitting of any
trim components.It should also be noted that new panel assemblies and
body shells are supplied without wax injection
treatment which must be carried out after repairs.
Effective cavity wax protection is vital. Always observe
the following points:
Complete all finish paint operations before
wax application.
Clean body panel areas and blow-clean
cavities if necessary, before treatment.
Maintain a temperature of 18°C (64°F)
during application and drying.
Check the spray pattern of injection
equipment.
Mask off all areas not to be wax coated
and which could be contaminated by wax
overspray.
Remove body fixings, such as seat belt
retractors, if contamination is at all likely.
Move door glasses to fully closed position
before treating door interiors.
Treat body areas normally covered by trim
before refitting items.
Check that body and door drain holes are
clear after the protective wax has dried.
Keep all equipment clean, especially wax
injection nozzles.

PROCEDURES GENERAL WELDING PRECAUTIONS
The following pages show the procedures to follow
when using welding for repairs. No resistance spot
welds have been used in any of the repairs.
The Aluminium alloy used on all Defender models is a
combination of Aluminium and Magnesium.
When converting a MIG welder for use on Aluminium
it is essential the following components are changed.
The materials shown in brackets are the correct
materials to use:
Torch liner (Teflon or Carbon Fibre)
Contact tip
Feed rollers/wheels
Correct Filler wire (combination of
Aluminium and Magnesium)
Shielding gas (Argon)
When carrying out welding operations the following
criteria must be observed:
Where resistance spot welds have been
used in production, these must be replaced
with either MIG plug welds or rivets.
To replace each production spot weld an 8
mm (0.31 in) hole must be drilled and/or
punched, and a MIG weld then made in its
place. The number of plug welds must
match exactly the number of spot welds
which have been removed.
Where holes are left in an existing panel
after removal of the spot welds, a single
MIG plug weld will be made in each hole as
appropriate.
When MIG welding ensure the correct wire
is used.
The replacement welds in the welding
diagrams are denoted by the following
symbols:
A. MIG Plug welds
B. MIG seam weld
Seat Belt Anchorages
Seat belt anchorages are safety critical. When making
repairs in these areas it is essential to follow design
specifications.
Where possible, the original production assembly
should be used, complete with its seat belt
anchorages, or the cut line should be so arranged that
the original seatbelt anchorage is not disturbed.
All welds within 250mm (9.9in.) of seat belt
anchorages must be carefully checked for weld
quality, including spacing of spot welds. A crack
detection process must be carried out in these areas.
WARNING: Body parts incorporating seat
belt anchorages MUST be renewed
completely if damaged beyond repair, as
the welds in these areas are safety critical and
cannot be disturbed.
