6105-T6 tube which is also fully MIG welded to the rear corner post. A minimum of eight (8) total 6 inch vertical gussets, (1/4) inch thick will be installed to reinforce two (2) at each cross member and sidewall tubes directly fore and aft of the axle. FLOOR SYSTEM CANTILEVER BEAMS: There will be cantilever floor beams used at intermittent body points running from the opposite main interior wall beam to the opposite exterior wall at the location between exterior compartments. The use of cantilever beams increases the strength of the overall floor system and support to the compartments. 6.7 Exception - DOOR SKIN: No welded seams are allowed, only one piece formed corners. The door skin will be .090 inch thick, 5052-H32 aluminum sheet formed on all four sides utilizing an ACF Multi-flex Corner Former Model MF 25 to create a crevice free surface for best paint adhesion and corrosion resistance. The formed edges will not have elongation cracks due to forming and will maintain material thickness uniformly over the entire sheet. The formed edges uniformly round off seamless for better paint adhesion and aesthetic appeal that does not require cutting and welding in the corners. DOOR FRAMING: The door frame will reinforce the perimeter of the skin pan. The extrusion will incorporate a T-slot to receive an extruded, hollow, dual durometer closed cell UV protected TPV gaskets with relief holes for even compression for a proper and complete seal from the door to the door jamb. The gasket corners will be welded without using adhesives for bonding. The door frame extrusion will also add torsion resistance to the door assembly. The door jamb extrusion and frame extrusion will be cut 45 degree on each corner. Each of the four corners will incorporate a key way and spline that is designed to drive into each corner and maintain a perfect 90 degree angle prior to welding. The door castings will include gusset plates for additional support for the door construction. The door frame will also incorporate a clearance way for UNF threaded blind fasteners for the door panels. The door panel will not rest on the body of the blind fasteners. FINAL DOOR ASSEMBLY: The door skin will be bonded to the frame assembly with an adhesive sealant in addition to intermittent welding. For entry doors additional horizontal structure will be added to maintain door skin flatness as well as penetration resistance in the event of a collision. The horizontal members are extruded J-channel, 0.150 inch thick. A minimum of two horizontal members will be welded in. A vertically oriented 0.150 inch thick formed hat-channel will be welded to the webs of both horizontal channels for additional buckling resistance. Compartment doors will have a reinforcement system of horizontal or horizontal/vertical structure added to maintain skin flatness and impact resistance. ENTRY DOOR WINDOW(S) OPENINGS: The entry door(s) will incorporate recessed areas that are stamped into the outer door skin to allow for a flush window appearance and will not protrude with a lip on the outer door skin of the modular body. DOOR PANELS: The inside entry door panels will be made of .080 inch thick aluminum plate and will be finished per these specifications later in this document. The center panel will be removable for easy lock service/lubrication. The inside of the compartment door panels will be made of .080 inch thick polished aluminum diamond plate. The edges of the door panel will be recessed into the door frame extrusion. The panels will be fastened to the door frame with stainless steel, #10-32 UNF machine screws threaded into aircraft quality blind fasteners. Each fastener will have an internal tooth lock washer to preclude loosening.
