Caution when spot welding
- The tip of the spot welding machine should be maintained to a minimum of
0.1 in (3 mm) because it greatly

the existing spot welded points.
- Before and after spot welding, weld a test piece (test pin) of the same
material as the body panel, and check the
welding strength.
