SEALING AND CORROSION PROTECTION

SEALANTS AND ADHESIVES

Structural Adhesive
Metal-to-metal adhesive is applied to critical joint
areas during factory assembly. The material used is a
high-temperature, heat cured, nitrile phenolic which
serves both to bond two metal surfaces and also to
seal the joint against ingress of dust, water, petrol and
fumes. This material is not suited for service use, and
should be substituted in repair using a suitable
medium strength adhesive.

When separating a joint treated with metal-to-metal

adhesive, to avoid distortion it is recommended that
the joint be gently heated until the bond weakens
sufficiently to permit panel separation.

NOTE: DO NOT carry out MIG welding on a
joint area which has been treated with
metal-to-metal adhesive until all traces of

adhesive have been removed.

The following Illustrations show the treatment areas
for Structural Adhesive.
All areas symmetrically opposite to those shown are
also treated.

Structural adhesive applied around body side lower fixing holes
