Repair Concept
- The Z8 requires special attention when body repair is needed due to the all aluminum construction. It is important to note that body repair methods on aluminum widely differ from those methods used on steel.
- Three levels of repair are outlined:
REPAIR LEVEL
| Level 1 - "light duty" repair: | Scratches, Dents, Bolt on panel replacement, Paint work |
| Level 2 - "medium duty" repair: | Frame rail sectioning, Use of epoxy bonding and riveting, Repairs requiring frame/body fixtures, Repairs requiring dimensioning tools |
| Level 3 - "heavy duty" repair: | Frame rail replacement, Structural panel/support, Replacement repairs requiring welding, Repairs requiring the use of frame/body fixture tools |
