the undercarriage of the body and chassis. Undercoating must be applied according <br />to chassis manufacturer guidelines. <br />Y N <br />6.10 HEAT SHIELDS <br />To further insulate and protect the patient compartment the ambulance manufacturer <br />shall install 18-gauge galvanized steel below the sub -floor material to act as a heat <br />shield and vapor barrier. An .18-gauge galvanized steel sheet, with waterproof <br />insulation laminated to it shall be installed directly to the bottom of the floor tubes. <br />This will create a sandwich style construction to further insulate the patient floor in <br />the area of the muffler and exhaust system. <br />6.11 FENDER INSULATOR <br />An additional insulator shall be provided and installed on top of the wheel well liner. <br />This layered rubber and aluminum foil material shall diminish the effects of noise <br />created by road debris and provide additional thermal insulation for the patient <br />compartment. <br />Y N <br />6.12 CAB CONNECTION <br />The vehicle cab back shall be removed without disturbing the structural integrity. A <br />reinforcement structure shall be fabricated from 16-gauge steel 1" x 1" box tube and <br />shall be fully welded to the vehicle cab and used as a mounting system to attach the <br />cab/module expanding bellows. <br />Y N <br />6.13 MOUNTING <br />An Isomount technique shall be used to mount the ambulance body to the chassis <br />frame. Mounting hardware shall consist of .75" x 6" aluminum bar stock body plates, <br />ten (16) 7/16"-14 UNC threaded Grade 8 bolts, paired rubber isolators with steel cap, <br />collared mounting nut for each mounting point and (10) 1/4" steel outriggers with (2) <br />support gussets using grade 8 bolts. The bolts and rubber isolators are similar to the <br />type used to mount the vehicle cab. Mounting holes in the top of the outrigger shall <br />accommodate the mounting hardware. The .75" x 6" aluminum bar stock mounting <br />plates shall be bolted through the upper mounting isolator with the OEM Grade 8 <br />bolt. The bolt passes through and secures the second isolator below the outrigger <br />flange with the collared nut. Body sub floor cross members shall be welded to the <br />aluminum bar stock mounting plates. This combination of components provides the <br />body with a cushioned ride and allows the body and frame to flex independently to <br />avoid frame stress. <br />6.14 LEFT SIDE COMPARTMENTATION <br />6.14.1 FORWARD OF REAR WHEEL WELL - D1 AND D2 <br />A full height compartment shall be provided in the forward position ahead of the <br />
