Installation Preparations

INSTALLATION PREPARATIONS

Application of Weld-through Primer
For treatment against corrosion, remove the paint grease, and other material from the portion of the new part and body to be welded, and apply weld-through primer.

Making Holes for Plug Welding
For places that cannot be spot welded, make a hole of 5 - 6 mm (0.20-0.24 in) for plug welding using a punch or drill.

Determination of Welding Method




If the total thickness at the area to be welded is 3 mm (0.12 in) or more, use a CO(2) shielded-arc welder to make the plug welds.

Rough-cutting of New Parts




For cut-and-join area, allow for an overlap of 30 - 50 mm (1.18-1.97 in) with the remaining area in a body side and then rough cut the new part.
