Particular
attention should be paid to all highly stressed parts of the motor bicycle and
side car,
if fitted, such as frame joints and connections, reaction brackets and attachment
points of shields and fairings.
It is particularly important to check for corrosion of box sections and fabricated
parts (see Appendix B).
It may be necessary to remove or raise panels to permit the further examination
of the structure (see Introduction items 1 and 2).
Structural members and components includes engine mountings, where the engine
is a stressed member of the structure |
