    M35 rocker panel repair

    Okay, finally made it back to this. I've updated the drawing and will run another sample. I think I have all the information on the associated parts but will have to verify.

    M35 rocker panel repair

    Good afternoon. I wanted to give everyone that is interested in the rocker panels a heads up. I'm leaving for the Graves' Mountain MV ride on Thursday and over the next two weeks I'm traveling for work. I'll get back on this when I return and we'll get a full sample of the parts. I had a M35...

    So we are in the process of installing a iron phosphate system along with a powder coating batch system and we have a liquid spray booth. So what you mentioned could be an option at CMD. Guy

    M35 rocker panel repair

    The change was from 3.063" to 3.144" on the profile. In this view it's shown as zero clearance, that will be adjusted so that parts properly fit without the use of a hammer. I still have to draw the 7 ga flat pattern but I'm getting there. @gringeltaube - Gerhard - please review these numbers...

    All of the dimensions shown are "Outside" dimensions. What part is incorrect? I'm guessing it's the 18 ga profile. Guy

    Okay, I'm struggling. Went through the pictures and prints. Made drawings in AutoCAD of what I interpreted. Numbers aren't adding up as you can see the interference in the drawing.

    Thank you to Gringeltaube for supplying dimensions. He also sent other related part drawings that I'll look at next week. It was mentioned to make a kit of parts for this repair. That is what I'll look at doing. Guy

    I'm having a sample part made. I'll post some pictures of how it looks. Going to use an .060" top die. Guy

    I think it's because it was listed as "ipcoating. Should be "Lpcoating".

    Also, all of our presses have CNC controllers / back gauges. Dimensions won't be an issue. Guy

    M35 rocker panel repair

    I ask about the radius in an attempt to match the original. On the M151 parts, most of the panels are 18ga, .187" inside radius. When you see a repair done with smaller radius, it sticks out a mile away. I have a '54 M221 I could look at. I'd think that would be similar for the radius? Guy

    Hello. What is the inside bend radius? Looks like the dimensions are all "outside" dimensions? And to confirm, 18 ga crs, .048" thick? Guy
