Three Dimensional Distance -- X, Y, Z

This universal measuring system is capable of simultaneously dimensioning the length, width, and height of a datum plane. Three dimensional distances are used for both underbody and upperbody measuring.

X = Fore and aft measurements along the center line of the vehicle. An O plane is located forward of the master gage hole at the front of the vehicle 2185 mm as shown. All measurements are made from this plane toward the rear of the vehicle.

Y = Cross car dimensions. Positive values are measured from the center of the vehicle to the right side of the vehicle. Negative values are measured from the center of the vehicle to the left side. When values are not listed separately to change the side of the vehicle, you need only to change the Y dimensions to the opposite value, + or -, from what is listed.

Z = Vertical measurement from the datum plane that is 368 mm below the rocker panel lower flange edge (O plane).

All dimensions are symmetrical, unless otherwise noted.

In order to properly repair the spaceframe, restore the vehicle to the XYZ dimensions, as originally built. Relational (linear) dimensions are for reference only. Use relational dimensions for diagnosis or inspection only. Relational dimensions are not as accurate as XYZ dimensions and measuring systems.

The gage holes shown are the actual fixture locations that are used to build the vehicle.

Thermal Expansion

Saturn chose thermal plastic exterior body panels for their strategic advantage. Unique to this technology is the need to manage thermal expansion.

Thermal expansion allows exterior panels, e.g. fender, door quarter, to grow and contract with changes in temperature. The method in which the exterior body controls and directs this expansion is through a carefully engineered fastener system and exterior panel design. This panel design consists of a series of net and slotted holes to direct this growth. The growth is directed forward for the fender and rearward for the quarter panels. The growth of the doors is forward for the front door and rearward for the rear door.
