SPECIFICATIONS
SPECIFICATIONS - FRAME DIMENSIONS
Frame dimensions are listed in metric scale. All dimensions are from center to center of Principal Locating Point (PLP), or from center to center of PLP and fastener location.
VEHICLE PREPARATION
Position the vehicle on a level work surface. Using screw or bottle jacks, adjust the vehicle PLP heights to the specified dimension above a level work surface. Vertical dimensions can be taken from the work surface to the locations indicated were applicable.

*First choice - Flux Cored Arc Welding Process: Butt joints - Vertical position welds - maintain end of electrode wire at leading edge of weld puddle while traveling down hill to produce maximum penetration into sleeve. This technique works for Gas Metal Arc (MIG) as well.
NOTE: If MIG welding process is selected the galvannealed coating must be removed from both sides of the material adjacent to the weld joint.
