The transverse strength is provided by the cross members. The floor panel itself prevents lozenging and the joints between side members and cross members are designed to resist torsional stresses. Vehicle Body Repairs - Phase 2 45
Module 3– Unit 4 The rear end of the floor is stiffened transversely by the rear seat heelboard (5). This heelboard also stiffens the front edges of the rear seat panel. In addition it often provides the retaining lip for the rear seat cushion, which is usually made detachable from the body. The heelboard, together with the rear panel and rear squab panel, forms the platform for the rear seat. The rear seat panel (6) is reinforced or swaged if necessary to gain enough strength to support the rear passenger. Usually the rear seat panel has to be raised to provide sufficient clearance for the deflection of the rear axle differential housing. The front edge of the rear seat panel is stiffened by the rear seat heelboard and the rear edge of the seat panel is stiffened by the rear squab panel. The rear squab panel completes this unit and provides the rear bulkhead across the car. It seals off the boot or luggage compartment from the main body or passenger compartment. The boot floor (7), which extends from the back of the rear squab panel to the extreme back of the body, completes the floor unit. In addition to the luggage the spare wheel has to be accommodated here. The front edge of the boot floor is reinforced by the rear squab panel and the rear end by a cross member of some form (8). The sides of the floor are stiffened by vertical boot side panels at the rear, while the wheel arch panels complete the floor and its side members. The wheel arch panels (9) themselves seal the rear road wheels from the body. In general the floor unit is made up from a series of panels with suitable cross members or reinforcements. The edges of the panels are stiffened either by flanging reinforcing members, or by joining to the adjacent panels. The boot framing is joined at the back to the rear end of the boot floor, at the sides to the boot side panels and at the top to the shelf panel behind the rear squab (10). It has to be sufficiently strong at the point where the boot lid hinges are fitted to carry the weight of the boot lid when this is opened. Surrounding the boot lid opening there is a gutter to carry away rain water to prevent it entering the boot; opposite the hinges, provision is made for the boot lid lock striking plate (11) to be fixed. From the forward edge of the boot, the next unit is the back light and roof structure (12) and this extends to the top of the windscreen or canopy rail (13). The roof is usually connected to the body side frames, which comprise longitudinal rails or stringers and a pair of cantrails which form the door openings (14). Provision in the roof should be made for the interior trimming. The scuttle and windscreen unit, including the front standing pillar or A-post (15), provides the front bulkhead and seals the engine from the passenger compartment. Vehicle Body Repairs - Phase 2 46
