When carrying out vehicle
conversions/modifications the following points
should be considered:
•
Make sure that all of the reinforced holes
provided in the chassis frame top surface are
used for full length bodies or sub-frames, see
Figures E74860, E74861, E74862, E74863
and E74696.
•
Make sure that the vehicle structural integrity
is maintained
•
Do not drill into closed frame body members.
•
Make sure that the design for the body
alterations or additional structure disperse the
load evenly.
CAUTION: Uneven load distribution
could result in unacceptable
handling and braking
characteristics.
•
Re-paint metal edges after cutting or drilling.
All metal edges must comply with exterior and
interior protection legislation.
•
All fixings through the floor, sides or roof must
be sealed.
Refer to: 5.10 Corrosion Prevention (page 221).
•
Ensure that any additional equipment in the
vicinity of the fuel tank will not damage the
