General remarks on the body parts of high-strength sheet steel Applicable to 911 Carrera (996) model Body parts of high-strengthsteel contribute to better protection of the passenger compartment and thus increase protection of the passengers. In addition to improved crash safety, these parts also have a positive influence on fatigue strength. In terms of crash behaviour, body parts made from high-strengthsheet steel are distinguishedfor their higher energy absorption. But this also means that higher reshapingforce must be applied in reshaping work. Welding work Bodyparts of high-strengthsteelcan be weldedusingthe MIGweldingprocessesthat are customaryin workshops.The use of the oxyacetyleneweldingprocessis not permissiblefor bodyparts madeof high-strengthsteel. Repair note Body repairs by reshaping are not possible if these body parts are correspondinglydeformed. Here, the repair must be made by the use of new parts or sectional repairs. For this purpose, only "Original Porsche parts" or sections of "Original Porsche parts" may be used. 5 -18 5 Body parts of high-strength steel 9965_15 Printed in Germany, 1997 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
