OEM Linking Pin: Ford Updates Recommended Steel Repairability Matrix

Ford has updated their Recommended Steel Repairability Matrix.

The enhancements to the matrix include additional information on the names of steel and the strength ranges of those steels. The updated Matrix is located in the model-specific Workshop manuals in section 501-25 Body Repairs - General Information - Specifications. This is also where additional information is found on wire size and type, and a weld nugget chart.
