Summary
This article outlines Honda and Acura's requirements and recommendations for MIG brazing, emphasizing that it must only be performed where specifically indicated in the model-specific body repair manual (BRM). It highlights that Honda/Acura provides detailed specifications on hole size, spacing, wire, shielding gas, and destructive testing based on the strength of the steel being joined.
What to do on the job
Always consult the model-specific Honda/Acura body repair manual to verify if MIG brazing is specified for the joint, and strictly follow their requirements for hole diameter, spacing, wire, and shielding gas.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the necessity of researching model-specific body repair manuals (BRMs) for MIG brazing specifications on Honda and Acura vehicles. It serves as evidence that MIG brazing cannot be performed arbitrarily and requires specific hole configurations (such as two 8 mm holes spaced 10 mm apart for high-strength steel) and destructive testing, which should be accounted for in the repair estimate.
