5.5.1 Pontos de fixação e tubulação

5.5 Frame and Body Mounting 5.5.1 Mounting Points and Tubing Holes on frame are a result of the production process. They are not designed for fixing additional equipment. Always use chassis mounts as shown in sub frame for low floor or other equipment. If additional fixings are required please follow the recommendation given in the figure shown. This does not apply to areas of load applications such as spring fixings or damper fixings. Frame Drilling and Welding A B E134173 Dimensions (mm)for Body Attachment Holes in chassis Frame Top Flange Medium Wheelbase A 19 B 11 C 100 1. No Welding is Allowed to the Vehicle Structure. 2. To make holes in frames do not use a gas flame. Drill holes using sharp drills. 3. Use cold riveting only when attaching brackets with rivets. 4. Use high tensile bolts and appropriate nuts when bolted attachments are used. • Bolt Specifications : • Metric – Property class 8.8 or 10.9 • Japanese – 7T or 9T • SAE – Grade 8 5. 5. Deburr holes after drilling to fit bolts or rivets. Chamfer 1.0mm x 45 degree on the bolt head side of the hole to facilitate bolt seating. FordRanger 2011.5 NOTE: After drilling, deburr and countersink all holes and remove chips from the frame. Follow corrosion prevention. Refer to: 5.4 Corrosion Prevention (page 49). C D F E D 110 E Do not drill within 20mm hole, or in the areas shaded in green. F No more than 2 holes to be drilled in a vertical line. 6. Holes must NOT be drilled near side member profile changes. 7. Existing holes in top and bottom flanges must NOT be bored out. 8. No more than two holes are to be drilled in a vertical line down from the frame web. 9. Corrosion protection is to be applied post drilling operations to the vehicle. Corrosion protection & protective coatings for all modifications should conform to all local design rules. 10. Reinforcements should be added to the vehicle structure where appropriate, to avoid excessive load concentrations. Date of Publication: 05/2011
