To enable positional accuracy of exterior body panels 34 fitted to a tubular frame vehicle chassis 32, intermediate integration panels 38,40 are adhered to the chassis 32 by a relatively thick layer of adhesive 46 and held in place by a jig (48,50 Figure 2) on a datum projection (52) or by a robotic arm during assembly until fixed in position. Any misalignment or difference in tolerances between the frame and the exterior body panels is taken up by the thickness of adhesive. The exterior panel 34 may then be attached to the integration panel 40 via an adhesive or other fixing. Formations 54, 56 & 58 on the integration panel 40 may also be used to retain an insulating panel 70, wiring harness 68 and brake line 66 respectively, reducing the number of brackets otherwise needed to be welded to the framework. |
