In the attached figure for underbody dimensions in our Tech Articles section, dimensions 'a' and 'c' mention 'form bead centre' .
What is a form bead centre and how can I find it at the front and rear? Illustrative photos would be most helpful. I have been under the car and waved the tape measure around from one of the fixed points with the stated dimension and tried to locate the point that way but can't reveal any convincing anatomical point. Many thanks David  |

Where two horizontal pieces of metal are bent down to form a tab about 1/2 inch wide, it would be the center of that formed bead.

Thanks
Just been under the car (it is daytime here) and can see the rear bead that corresponds with the prescribed dimension. No centre point is marked but will find it by measurement. The front doesn't seem so obvious . Any further info will be appreciated |
