Module 3– Unit 4<br />
Accommodation has to be made for the instrumentation of the car,<br />
the wiring, radio, windscreen wipers and driving cable, demisters<br />
and ducting, steering column, handbrake support and pedals. The<br />
scuttle (16) is a complicated structure which needs to be very<br />
strong. When the front door is hinged at the forward edge,<br />
provision has to be made in the front pillar for the door hinges,<br />
door check and courtesy light switches.<br />
The centre standing pillar or BC-post (17) is fixed to the side<br />
members of the main floor unit and supports the cantrails of the<br />
roof unit. It provides a shut face for the front door, a position for<br />
the door lock striking plate and buffers or dovetail, and also a hinge<br />
face for the rear door; as with the front hinges and door check. The<br />
rear standing pillar or D-post (18) provides the shut face for the<br />
rear end of the floor side members at the bottom, whilst the top is<br />
fixed to the roof cantrails and forms the front of the quarters.<br />
The quarters (19) are the areas of the body sides between the rear<br />
standing pillars and the back light and boot. If the body is six-light<br />
saloon there will be a quarter window here with its necessary<br />
surrounding framing, but in the case of a four-light saloon this<br />
portion will be more simply constructed. Apart from the doors,<br />
bonnet, boot lid and front wings this completes the structure of the<br />
average body shell.<br />
