1 ) Set aside a couple of cups of the portland cement to be used for the final finishing stages of the repair.
2 ) Cut or chisel the length of the crack creating a notch 1” wide and ―” to 1” deep. Examine the edges of the notch – they should not be smooth. Roughen up the edges if necessary so that the repair will bond firmly to the existing floor.
3 ) Wet the notched area thoroughly.
4 ) Mix the portland cement with the terrazzo chips to create a consistency which is not runny nor is it thick like dough. A consistency you can hold in your hand.

Must only be installed on vehicles covered by the FIAT Authorization, and in any case that aren’t fitted with an ESP (Electronic Stability Program).
1. Lifting the vehicle
Lift the rear of the vehicle slightly using suitable jacks positioned in the lifting points to guarantee the safety of the operation and to avoid damaging the chassis: you don’t have to take all the load off the rear suspension, it’s enough to let the wheels down enough to be able to insert the air springs.
2. Fitting the suspension units
Unscrew the end of stroke buffer. Fit the top support of the AIR TOP (figure 2) in its place using the M10 x 1.25 x 25 screw and the flat washer supplied (torque down to 53 Nm) applying thread locking compound.
