General

  1. In general, all measurements in this manual are made with a caliper.
  2. When using a measuring tape, make sure it does not stretch, twist, or bend.
  3. Both projection dimensions and actual dimensions are used for measurements in this manual.
  4. These dimensions are provided as a reference for after-sales service and must not be used as specifications.

Measuring method

Projection dimensions

  1. These are dimensions measured by projecting the measuring points onto the base plane; they are the base dimensions used for body repair.
  2. If the length of the tracking gauge probes is adjustable, take the measurement by extending one probe by an amount equal to the height difference of the two surfaces.

Actual dimensions

  1. These dimensions indicate the actual linear distance between measuring points and are reference dimensions for use when a measuring gauge is used.
  2. Measure with both probes first set to the same length (A=A').
    Check the probes and gauge to make sure there is no free play.

Measuring point

  1. Measurements should be taken at the center of the hole.
    Measure to the center of the outer panel (hole).
