GENERAL INFORMATION
Selection of Cut-and-join Locations
• For parts where complete replacement is not
feasible, careful cutting and joining operations
should be followed. If the location to be cut is a
flat area where there is no reinforcement, the
selected cutting location should be where the
welding distortion will be minimal.
Removal of Associated Parts
• Protect moldings, garnishes, and ornaments with tape when removing associated parts.
Rough Cutting of Damaged Panel
• Verify that there are no parts (such as pipes, hoses, and wiring harness) nearby or on the opposite side of a
panel which could be damaged by heat.
• For cut-and-join areas, allow for an overlap of
30—50 mm {1.18—1.97 in} and then rough-cut
the damaged panel.

Rough Cutting of New Parts
• For cut-and-join areas, allow for an overlap of 30—50 mm {1.18—1.97 in} with the remaining area on the body
side and then rough-cut the new parts.
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
gas shielded-arc welder to
make the plug welds.
