A vehicle body includes a first structural component and a second structural component that form the outer shell of the body. The structural components are joined in the area of equidirectional flanges, are locally detachably connected to each other, and delimit a joint in a common connecting area towards the vehicle exterior. A positioning device, which fixes two adjoining structural parts that form the outer shell of the body in the X and Y directions with respect to each other, is provided between the two adjoining structural components in order to ensure that a flush transition on the outer shell and an even course of the joint between the two structural components is provided in inaccessible areas between two adjoining structural components.
1. A vehicle body comprising:
an outer shell formed by at least one first structural component and at least one second structural component, the structural components being joined in an area of equidirectional flanges and detachably connected to each other and delimiting a joint towards a vehicle exterior in a common connecting area, and
a positioning device, provided in an area between the structural components that is difficult to reach, which fixes the structural components with respect to each other,
wherein the positioning device comprises a preassembled supporting part, mounted on one of the structural components, having a molded-on projecting fixing section, and wherein the fixing section interacts positively with a recess arranged on a flange of another of the structural components, and
wherein a V-shaped receptacle, which interacts with a vertical flange of the first structural component, is configured on the inside of the supporting part viewed in an insertion direction of the second structural component.
2. A vehicle body comprising:
an outer shell formed by at least one first structural component and at least one second structural component, the structural components being joined in an area of equidirectional flanges and detachably connected to each other and delimiting a joint towards a vehicle exterior in a common connecting area, and
a positioning device, provided in an area between the structural components that is difficult to reach, which fixes the structural components with respect to each other,
wherein a fastening strip, with a free end which projects in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, is mounted on an upright flange of the first structural component, and
wherein a top side of the fastening strip is configured with a funnel-shaped guide into which a downwardly extending guide pin of the supporting part engages.
