Data of Designing Fender

Design considerations for drip area-

1. 150mm Distance from front end is kept for the headlamps in bumper.
2. 200mm Distance from rear end is kept for the wiper assembly, some time it may excide and less also.
3. Engine components should not be visible from outside. For this purpose initially 3 degree of angle & 9mm length is given.
4. Embosses are given to the drip area to increase the strength.
5. The gap between drip area and the engine compartment not less than by 10 mm.
6. To avoid the springback effect drip depth should maximum 40 mm.
7. Relief is provided so that maintenance low cost production
