Bonnet leading edge

1) Use 1000 mm straightedge to measure the vertical line parallel

to vertical plane and then tilt at 50 deg towards the rear. Lower
edge should be at 600 mm from the ground. Mark the points
where straightedge make contact with the bonnet.
3) If at 50deg of bonnet upper surface slope,
straightedge touches the bonnet in more than
two places then fix the straightedge edge rear
at 40deg

2) If the lower edge of the straightedge makes

contact first, make the marking points there
4) If the upper edge of straightedge makes contact first
then follow the trajectory of WAD 1000

the above requirements.
Wrap around distance-
1. Start from the vehicle center line.
2. Set one end of flexible measuring tape on the reference plane
directly under one side of the bumper front edge.
3. Wrap the measuring tape around the bumper and bonnet ,
parallel to the vehicle vertical cross section.
4. Mark the 1000,1700, 2100 mm marking on the bonnet ,
windshield roof and A –pillar. Wrap the measuring tape around
the entire surface , touching the other end of the tape to
bonnet top, windshield ,A pillar and roof.
