- Welcome to the Mehari 2cv Club Cassis.
It is our pleasure to show you around our manufacturing plant for the original 2cv, Mehari and Dyane chassis.
Did you know?
The Mehari 2cv Club Cassis has signed an exclusive operating contract with CITROEN for the remanufacturing of many pieces using the original moulds and tools.
Are you ready?
Come and discover our universe.
The first step is to put in place all the interior frame elements, the inside rails,
the suspension unit traverses,
hand brake support,
safety belt fixings, rear arched reinforcement ...
the support for the front seat rails, and the front arched reinforcement.
The front traverse is numbered to ensure that the procedure of quality is followed for the production of each chassis.
The elements are positioned and locked together. The first welding points are made.
After this step, all holding points are released, we move to the second assembly phase.
The structure is placed on its lower panel and positioned on the second unit in the assembly line.
It is locked in place, and further welding points are made.
The internal reinforcements, and upper panel are put in place.
A template is used which allows the welder to weld the upper panel and internal side frame to the original Citroën specifications.
We are not yet in the era of the robotisation.
This step is complete, we move on to the 3rd phase.
The installation of the outer side frame panels.
Again, all is locked.
The original template is laid on top and the welding is carried out following the template.
After the upper welding is complete, the lower part can be welded.
The ends are crimped using a mallet.
The chassis is then installed in the original Citroën frame crimping machine.
This machine folds the edges of the chassis in one passage back and forth.
The platform will now be installed on the original Citroën hole punching machine.
The holes positions are checked.
The machine will now punch over 60 holes at the same time.
The external elements will be added.
The shock absorber and spring tube supports.
The rear towing loops.
The rear exhaust support.
The front towing loops.
The elements are locked in place.
The elements are welded into place.
The elements are released and the welding is finished.
The chassis is then moved to the rotating welding table.
The front and rear axel fixations are locked and welded into place.
The lower reinforcements for the suspension spring tubes are fitted.
Everything is unlocked.
All that is left to do, is install the fuel tank fixations.
The final step before the anti-corrosion treatment, is to install the driveshaft protection.
We hope you enjoyed the visit.
After production we have two types of anti-corrosion treatment possible.
The hot dip galvanisation at 480 °c.
Or by cataphoresis treatment.
In both cases you benefit from a high quality product protected against corrosion.
I would like to remind you that our chassis are certified and comply with the UTAC standards as required by the manufacturer.
Thank you for your attention. Safe driving. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
At the heart of a good restoration is the chassis. I think the ones shown in the video retail at about €1,500 including tax (2022 price), which sounds a lot of money but, in my opinion, is a good investment for a serious and top quality renovation.
BRAVO. !!!!!
Greetings from a 2CV driver in Denmark, thanks for keeping my car immortal. I still have my original chassis, but if it ever breaks I will get one of your galvanized chassis.
Достойны большого уважения. 👍👍
What an informative video! Have watched it over 50 times!
From 1.49 to 1.55, reinforcements are installed into the chassis long members. I slowed down the video and watched that repeatedly, but sadly, there are no close ups of that crucial bit of engineering. I have been scouring the net for more information on those internal reinforcements, which are invariably rusted out totally in old 2CVs. Would be grateful for any leads.
Great video. Good to see old cars being supported.
what a wonderful informative post
Awesome!!!
Super keren. Ggk nanggung kalo dah hoby. Good job
Love it , and love the 2cv thx
Merci pour cette vidéo!
Si vuelven a fabricar estos encantadores coches, a buen seguro, me compraría uno con tal de estrenarlo y cumplir mi anhelo. Muy elaborado el chasis, precioso!!
Y se siguen fabricando nomás. No pasa de moda el querido 3cv
good to see those cars are still somewhat man made
🎉❤😊
Thank God. I love the 2CV.
I love thé 2cv to
I love my 2cv A4 it's bild on 9-1974. I had restaurate this dat in 1995/96.two colors twice different yelow colors.
Repetiré mi comentario por montarse con KABAOTTO: Si vuelven a fabricar estos encantadores coches, a buen seguro, me compraría uno con tal de estrenarlo y cumplir mi anhelo. Muy elaborado el chasis, precioso!!
Qué barbaro! Fabrican un Citroën nuevo!
Amazing! They kept this all! I wish, they will make updated version of 2cv!
The material strength of the parts used to build the frames is already updated.
What they call 'E-Mehari' might be a cute electric car (didn't drive it), but it never is a real Mehari. The real one was a light, simple, no-comfort thing with great transport and off-road capability - that one either hates or loves.
agree. a 3.8 m 50 kW car is more a pet than a raptor.
By the way, passenger safety is very useless to discuss if you increase impact speed from 60 km/h to 80. Physics does not care for our wishes.
I had a bad crash with an original 2 CV, flattened front. I knew where the belt was for some days. I got out unhurt, the other one was lucky to stay unhurt, as I was angry. His car was trash, I repaired mine.
By the way, if I needed to buy a car, I'd consider a Sandero. Renault quality is not bad, I am not cherishing the 1950s when HP was a quality to compensate a tiny dick. My last car was a Fiat Ducato transporter ... rusted away, but besides this, I'd still drive it today. Why not? Comfortable, useful, mileage could have been better (it was not a Diesel).
by the way ... emission is not so much the thing, I had a 2CV with this cat built in ... emission values were beyond the scale of the measuring instrument.
I had a Trabant as well for some time ... no repairs ever. Still, 2CV is easy to repair, no fuzz. And it is not as pre-war-German as the Trabant (based on an old DKW).
Today, I am glad not to have to care about a car. If necesary, I lend a transporter (and these things are shit -- a dumb 'MB Sprinter' with 160 HP ... bullshit power).
My 2CV things I really loved, also my later Lada Niva - both have a reason for every screw built in. By the way - no repair ever needed on the Niva. Rust killed it, but it never stopped unless I put down the brake pedal.
yo repare muchos . los desarmaba y los volvia a armar , los soldaba con autogena
👍 😍
Its great to see these chassis being manufactured using original factory tooling. Would this chassis also work for a Citroen Ami or Bijou? Just curious.
Hola!!! donde estas Ustedes???? muy buen bueno el trabajo
Do you have the original in french
Ist diese Chassis Rostfrei ? Was kostet ?
Very good, but wondered why everything was spot welded and mig welded, but the fuel tank brackets were gas welded??
welding thick to thin metal is best to do with gas/tig.
Is the chassis buildhere in the video confirm the original Citroen specifications? And does it confirm with admission, legislation and approval of the countries it is used for example Holland? Is the steel used for the producting of the Chassis better than what Citroen used (because that was realy bad) and what is the conservation of the steel, outside, but more important inside (which Citroen didn't do at all) e.g is it galvanized? Is it still being manufactured nowadays???
the chassis is 100% Citroën approval and built with the original Citroën machines, but to buy one you need a original chassis n°
Is rust in the chassis a problem?
yes this reduce the strenght and at end did the chassis bend, most time at windscreen position
The white car far right in the showroom looks like a Renault Rodeo.
I can assure you there are no Renaults here
Your right, the black grill confused me, and the Rodeo had also a big part of bonnet over the grill.
Rodeo was a plagiarism of the Méhari, so they look quite similar at first glance
Was kostet ein Cassis ? Danke.

Hi, get one how?
Hello. Here is our website www.mehariclub.com/en/10071010--original-chassis-galvanised/. If you do not live in France, I would advise you to check our website for your nearest international distributor www.mehariclub.com/en/distributors/
Why these huge and obtrusive subtitles in english, when the narration is in english?
Otherwise very interesting!
Thank you. The subtitles are useful those who find it hard to follow spoken English and the deaf. We are happy that you enjoyed the video there are many more here on CZcams, or on our technical site www.technique-mehariclub.com (French only for the moment)
because for non english people it easier to understand.
Il faut commandé les châssis fer et non galvanisé car c'est alliages vieilli prématurémant en contraintes mécaniques il casserai sur des nids de poule de la voirie le fer à peindre pour protéger à l epoxi chez vous cela vous coûteras moins cher en tout sens et financièrement que ceus en galvanisé sens entretien
Chez moi les piquet de la clôture sont galvanisé et servent à tenir le grillage fer plastifié droit verticalement potager par la haie au cas ou le vend souffle trop dessus les piquet galvanisé
tu racontes des conneries mon gars: la résistance du châssis galvanisé est en réalité SUPERIEUR à celui du châssis peint et supérieur à un châssis d'époque... et pour info le "fer" ça n'est plus utilisé depuis un siècle: on n'utilise que de l'acier...
@@lebottanniste6 les piquets c'est fait en acier doux, rien à voir avec l'acier utilisé en automobile...
@@leneanderthalien et du fait les alliages galvanise qui nont occune resistance mecanique et du fait non lagale de roulais sur routes alalistes mecanique de merde
I *hate* these computer voices
then seach the original report in french...you don't understand french? sorry for you...
