The most important aspect of structural unibody repair is the correct application of Gas Metal Arc Welding, or G.M.A.W (formerly called Metallic Inert Gas, M.I.G) welding. It is the intent of the SAE Recommended Practice to inform the body repairman on how to evaluate his welds and check if the welder is properly adjusted. By doing this, he can improve the quality of his structural repairs and develop consistent welds.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides a systematic method for the identification of End Mills. It is intended to assist in the cataloging and supplying of these tools. NOTE 1— Caution must be taken when assigning codes for designation to prevent specifying cutting tools that cannot be physically or economically manufactured. NOTE 2— In particular without limitation, SAE disclaims all responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of information contained within this report if the standards of this report are retrieved, combined, or used in connection with any software.

This SAE Recommended Practice applies to the function of building reciprocating spark-ignition engines which are used in conjunction with standard and high-performance ancillary components in applications intended to achieve a minimum of 1 hp/in3. This document does not apply to rebuilt engines which may only be partially repaired with little or no machining, nor does it apply to second-hand or used engines.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides a minimum standard for evaluating squeeze-type resistance spot welding (STRSW) equipment and minimum weld performance criteria for two-sided automotive collision repair welding. This document contains several standardized test methods that are designed for evaluating equipment performance in a laboratory environment.

Almost all light trucks now are being manufactured with at least a driver side air bag and all will have dual air bags by 1998. The driving forces behind this feature are occupant safety, federal regulations, and competition in the industry. Along with the booming popularity of pickups and SUVs, they are commonly accessorized with a wide variety of products. Many accessories for four-wheel drives in particular are mounted on the front of the vehicle. These products include grille/brush guards, winches, snow plows, replacement bumpers, bicycle carriers, etc. Concerns have arisen over the compatibility of these accessories with the vehicle’s air bag system. The vehicle manufacturers are concerned because of their huge investment in design and crash test verification of the complete vehicle system and keen awareness of the federal regulations. The crushability of the front bumper and supporting structure are key elements in the system, so alterations to that area become logical concerns.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes a dynamic test procedure for evaluating Type 1 lap belt assemblies for pelvic restraints and Type 2 assemblies for combination pelvic and upper torso restraints, as defined in SAE J4c. Uniform test requirements, test procedures, a seat belt assembly loading device, and data recording requirements are specified. The intent of the recommended practice is to provide an acceptance procedure employing a dynamic test method for determining the ability of seat belt assemblies to meet minimal requirements for restraining a seat belt assembly loading device. A simple dynamic test is described which will yield repeatable and comparable results while simulating the loading condition a seat belt assembly is subjected to in a frontal accident. The impact conditions generate belt loads representative of those obtained in a motor vehicle striking a rigid barrier head on at 30 mph as stated in SAE J850.

This SAE Recommended Practice is intended to provide uniform tolerances for dimensions of urethane materials used for motor vehicle seating. Table 1 describes these tolerances as related to slab and molded applications.

The scope of this document is limited specifically to the following types of passenger vehicles: automobiles, light trucks, and sport/utility vehicles. This document addresses modifications as they apply to legal use of the vehicle, and examines suspension modification as it applies to stock (as manufactured) ride height, and changed (raised or lowered) ride height. Note that modifications of ride height are considered, exclusive of wheel and/or tire modifications, which can also have potentially serious side effects, and are outside the scope of this document.
