摘要

The bodywork element (1) comprises a hollow profiled section comprising an internal and outside metal plate (5, 6) with a thicker reinforcement plate (2) inbetween which comprises a base plate (7) of constant material thickness and at least one extra plate (3, 4) welded thereon. The base plate has flanged areas (14) formed out of the extra plate for welding onto the hollow section. The reinforcement plate is preferably U-shaped with the flanged areas having fixing arms (8, 9) which bear flat against the fixing surface of the hollow section at least in parts.
