ABSTRACT:
A constructional unit for the region of the scuttle and the cockpit of a passenger car, particularly of a small two-seater, reduces the production costs and saves weight. The constructional unit is formed from two composite parts which consist of deep-drawn sheet metal, preferably of steel, and of plastic, preferably PA 6/GF 30, injection-molded thereon. One composite part forms the scuttle as the front end wall of the passenger space, and the other composite part forms the dashboard carrier. The sheet-metal component of each composite part is shaped to allow for extensive forceflux during the absorption of the operating load within the composite part and at the connection points with the body. Bores or the like at specific locations constitute points for anchoring the plastic injection-molded on in relation to the sheet-metal part. The injection-molded on plastic is shaped to form a ribbing stiffening the sheet-metal parts and also suitably shaped receptacles for various add-on parts.
