Ans: Body in White ( Sheet Metal Body structure joined via spot, MIG/TIG or laser welding )
General answer to take care sheet metal manufacturing tolerance ( mostly profile , and position tolerance)
Ans: For hole to adjust in both direction and for panel if the panel and mylar intersection angle is more than 15%
Ans: Welded or gas cut structure which is mounted on base plate and hold rest,clamp block and clamp or location pin.
8) Why dowels are used in BIW?
Ans: Dowel is hardened turned component mostly having press fit tolerance used to location two different parts or assemblies

Ans : Mostly M6
Ans : Depends upon steel or Plastic mylar; generally for steel 20x20 ( cross section) and 50x50 for plastic ( S Grun/ Teflon)
Ans : To avoid wear of mylar . If not hardened size will get reduced over the period due to continuous use and which will
result in accuracy or assy. welded
