Information

Before final assembly, make sure you fully understand all the work steps involved and carry out a trial assembly without applying adhesive.
The bonding process can only be carried out reliably when a smooth and swift sequence of operations is guaranteed.
Do not begin bonding work until all materials and tools necessary for later repair work are available.

Align the sealing surface and connections of the body.
De-burr connection points and prepare them for welding.

Prepare marked areas for welding, bonding and blind riveting.
