501-25-14 Body Repairs - General Information 501-25-14 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION is usually made of plastic or alloy. This type of construction is also common in touring car racing for instance. Special features of non-monocoque bodywork construction: ‡ Partly large surface panels and high volume shaped parts. ‡ Thicker materials and greater reinforcements in the frame area. ‡ Floor pan as frame structure with high torsional rigidity and flexural strength. ‡ Side panels only make a small contribution to the overall stability of the body. Instructions for repair: A different repair technique is necessary during repairs. A deformed frame structure requires high Blue: Tailored blank Arrows: Laser weld seam The term "tailored blanks" describes the connection of two different panel thicknesses and/or strengths in the bodywork carcass. This connection is done using laser weld seams. Cut locations exactly on the laser weld seams are not permitted, as at present no joining techniques are approved for use suction power during straightening repairs. Frequently, the body also has to be detached from the frame structure in order to carry out separate repair. Due to the very stable frame structure, please note that the straightening behavior is completely different to that of a passenger vehicle. The frame and the attached body must be repaired independently of each other. Further information can be found in the respective body repair manual. Special points: Tailored blanks in repair procedures that would re-create joins of the same quality. NOTE: No cutting, no welding and therefore no sectional repairs are permitted in the immediate area of the laser weld seams. The model specific requirements are documented in the respective Body Repair Manuals. Typical application areas are:
