The bonding between the Chassis and the Bottom Panel must be structural.
This structure contributes to the foundation of the car.
The bonding between the bulkheads and the Chassis.
Bulkheads A and C cover the front and back of the Chassis.
They are used for cover and may be used for mounting.
They are not designed to be structural; the Chassis is primarily responsible for withstanding vehicle impacts
