BODYWORK
P/17
(see P/11) with the exception that the exhaust tail pipe
must be released from the rear
of
the body.
The body main securing points are illustrated in
Fig.
16,
page P/12, and
it
should be noted that the body
mounting point numbered
(5) is
not
used for these
vehicles. Note:
On the Pick-Up model the truck body
can be separated from the cab, either before
or
after
removal, by taking out the seat squab and extracting
the nuts and bolts holding the two parts
of
the body
together.
DISMANTLING AND ASSEMBLING OF BODY PARTS
A40
SPORTS
Bonnet Top
Remove the bonnet top
by
undoing the two bolts,
with nuts and washers, that secure the bonnet support
to the upper
half
of
the heater compartment. From each
bonnet hinge remove two nuts each with one fiat and
one spring washer. The bonnet is now free to be lifted
clear
of
the bodywork.
Shroud
The shroud assembly includes the grille, the two
front wings and the baffle plates.
The first
of
the dismantling procedures is to dis-
connect the lighting cables and horn leads
at
the nearest
snap joint connectors.
There are three setpins passing through the shroud
at each side into caged nuts on the top edge
of
the
flitch plate and three more setpins into flitch plate
caged nuts on the plate front flange.

wing fixing points.
Beneath the wings there are three nuts and bolts
at
each side which hold the shroud to the scuttle panel.
A further setpin visible on
top
of
the scuttle, beneath the
bonnet opening, secures each side
of
the shroud to the
scuttle.
At
the rear
of
the wheel
at
each side there are
five
more securing points, along the underside
of
the wing
flange. Two are setpins, the foremost one is a
nut
and
bolt, and interposed between the hexagon heads are two
roundhead self tapping screws.
There is one more setpin into the scuttle bracket
behind each door. To gain access to the heads
of
these
setpins each door must be opened.
Finally the bonnet release cable must be
discon-
nected from the bonnet catch.
When each
of
these securing points have been made
free the complete shroud assembly may be lifted and
carried forward clear
of
the car.
