In making the mudguards, wheel arches, as well as the shape of the body, bear in mind to: - Ensure free wag of the wheels under the conditions of use with chains, respecting the limits given in the documentation supplied by IVECO. - Protect the maximum width of the tyres respecting the legal limits required for the vehicle.
- Make the supporting structure adequately sturdy, avoiding sharp changes in the sections and vibration. - The connection can be made to the vertical rib of the structural members of the vehicle, or to the longitudinal sections of the subframe. In the first case the connection will have to be made exclusively with screws, or directly under the body (e.g., box-body, van, etc.), (see Figure 2.28). The first and second point are also to keep in mind when making the wheel arches.
