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.

Apply adhesive.
