Replacing the rear panel
The dashed lines indicate the cutting lines, the dots indicate the contact welding seams. In the main view, the arrows indicate the gas welding locations, and the arrows on the fragment indicate the cutting locations.
1. Using a thin, sharp chisel, cut the rear panel away from the fuel tank floor, spare wheel floor, side members, panel reinforcement and remove any remaining metal strips.
2. Straighten and sand down any deformed edges.
3. Install the new panel and gas weld it in the places shown in the figure by arrows. Check the correct installation of the panel by first installing the rear bumper.
4. Weld the rear panel using contact welding or carbon dioxide arc welding with 10 mm long intermittent welds every 30 mm of length.
5. Gas welding with spots every 30–40 mm using brass rods L-62 or L-68 is allowed.
