Procedure For Using Universal Reinforcement Plate

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 10 other vehicles, including the 2011 BMW 328xi, 2011 BMW 328i, 2010 BMW 335xi, 2010 BMW 335i, and 2010 BMW 328xi. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The universal reinforcement plate needs to be adapted. The plate must be divided if the distance between the pins is too great.

Dimension a is between 40 and 80 mm depending on the space available.

Secure plates with N4 punch rivets.

NOTE: Ensure the rivet is positioned correctly! Rivet head is on the adhesion side!

Rivet the plate to the inside of the flange!
