Installation Preparations

INSTALLATION PREPARATIONS

Application of Weld- through Primer




- For treatment against corrosion, remove the paint grease, and other material from the portion of new parts and body to be welded, and apply weld- through primer.

Determination of Welding Method




- If the total thickness at the area to be welded is 3 mm (0.12 in) or more, use a CO(2) gas shielded-arc welder to make the plug weld.

Making Hole for CO(2) Arc Welding




- For place that cannot be pot welded, make a hole of 05-06 mm (00.20 - 00.2 4 in) for CO(2) arc welding by using a punch or drill.




- If three or four panel overlap, make hole for CO(2) arc welding at all but the inner mot panel.

Rough Cutting of New Parts




- For cut- and- join area, allow for an overlap of 30 - 50 mm (1.18- 1.97 in) with the remaining area on the body side and then rough- cut the new parts.
