Summary:

In the tractor bonnet will mounted on the front axle and Custer panel (Scuttle) will mount on the clutch housing. As the Custer panel (Scuttle) is the fixed part and the Bonnet will be swing openable type. We will provide the gap of 5mm between the parts but Due to the manufacturing process variation between the parts and accordingly Tolerances are stack up and its create the more Gap variation between the Bonnet and Custer panel (Scuttle). This Gap varies ±5mmAs it's the customer front view point it create the astatic fit and finish issue. Hence to overcome this we designed the intermediate bracket and gauge design to mount the bonnet first and internal intermediate bracket is mounted in position by using the setting gauge. This internal intermediate bracket will taken care the Stack up variation.Now Custer panel (Scuttle) will mount on intermediate bracket. Hence, we achieved the gap between the bonnet and Scuttle
