3. Adaptation of the reinforcing frame
As soon as all reinforcing clips have
been shortened, the reinforcing frame is
fitted in with screw clamps. Please see to
it that the frame is situated centrically
and as far back as possible.
Starting from the offset to the outline of
the cut-out with 10 mm, bore holes are
placed with a distance of about 200 mm
through the roofing sheet and the upper
wall of the reinforcing frame. Start in one
corner of the cut-out and divide the bore
holes over the whole length and width of
the vehicle. Bore diameter is 5.2 mm.
After that, remove the reinforcing frame
again. The bore holes must be deburred
thoroughly as well as all cutting edges,
which have developed by cutting out the
roof cladding and its reinforcings. Re-
move the bore and saw shavings thor-
oughly with an industrial vacuum
cleaner!
Then, please prime all newly-developed
bare spots with a standard rust inhibitor.
