SI DE UPPER STRUCTURE
DISMOUNTIN G
Dismount the elements that are in contact
w ith the front pillar (front door, front bonnet,
front wing). Detach the welding points of the front pillar
(1), which are in connection with :
-side frame lining in the area (3) ;
- windscreen frame in the area (3)
- front pillar lining in the area ( 4).
Straighten the areas resulted by dismount-
ing. Grind the areas resulted by dismounting.
REMOU NT I NG
Position and center the new element on the
side frame lining. Clench in 2-3 points by m eans of sliding
tongs. Joint the front pillar border with side bor-
der of the windscreen frame. Wel d t he fro nt pi l l a r, fo l l owi ng t he
assembling outlines ( 2), (3) and (4) .
Pe rform an additional welding SE CO
2, in
the front pillar connection area with:
- side frame lining (6 weld x 15 mm);
- windscreen frame (4 weld x 15 mm);
- front pillar lining (6 weld x 15 mm).
Mount temporarily the front door, observin g
the openings clearance.
Weld the hinges on the front pillar (continuos
weld on all hinges sides).

Replacement of the headlamps mechanic adjustment control
Attach on the cowl panel, by means of clips, the cables passing bushing, ensuring the cockpit
co mpartment sealing against possible water drain along the cables passing bushing.
Mount the bonnet opening control cable in the opening handle (see chapter 52). Position the
headlamp s adjustment control on the dashboard.
Mount the attachment nut of the headlamps adjustment control on the dashboard.
Mo unt the headlamps adjustment control button and turn it in the position “3”.
Mount the headlamp adjustment control to a turning lamp-headlamp assembly :
-a ttach in clips by means of a straight screwdriver, the headlamp adjustment control cable
in fork (5) a n d t h en in the headlamp adjustment corrector;
- tighten initially the cable by hand till the fork ( 5) is in contact with support ( 6) so that fork
is remaining at max. 0.5 mm again st the support;
-block the headlamp adjustment cable by means of the nut ( 3);
-a ttach in clips the protector ( 2) o f t h e headlamp adjustment mechanism;
- position correctly the gasket of the headlamp adjustment corrector – the vertical adjustment
screw ( V) mu st come out through the gasket.
Mount the headlamp adjustment control of the other turning lamp-headlamp assembly.
Attach in the attachment points, by means of clips, the headlamps adjusting control cables,
replace and mount the attachment collars, observing the mounting position prior to the dismounting.
Keep a distance of approximate 40 mm
± 10 mm between the right cable and the cylinder
no .1 spark plug cable, in order to avoid the loses due to electric-magnetic induction.
Reconnect the battery ( -) term inal.
Switch on the headlamps and check the operation of the headlamps mechanic adjusting control.
The adju stment of the luminous spot dip of the headlamps in the downward sense of the vehicle
loading condition is to be performed by bringing the headlamps adjusting button in the “ 0” position
an d then in the desired condition.
REMA RK : The r equired tighteni ng moment of the attachment nut of th e headlamps
