Installing Outer Side Member

Welding in outer lower side member
1. 1.1. Fix the outer lower side member with tensioning clamps.
2. 1.2. Tack-weld the outer lower side member.
  Information
  
  Once the spare parts have been fixed in place, repair spotwelds must be placed on the old spotwelds because there is no current flow possible in areas with a hardened adhesive layer. Welding procedures other than resistance spot-welding are not permitted since the thermal effect would destroy the bonded joint.
3. 1.3. Spot-weld areas A, B on the side member.
4. 1.4. Plug-weld the side member in area F using inert gas.
