Embodiment Construction
[0017] The reinforcement includes a carrier having a plurality of outer walls spaced apart from one another. The carrier defines a channel extending generally parallel to the longitudinal axis defined by the chamber. A layer of material is disposed on at least one outer wall within the channel such that the electrocoat can flow through the channel before the layer of material expands and the channel is substantially filled after the layer of material expands. In one embodiment, the new flow channels for the electrocoating process are created by removing the transverse ribs from the carrier, the layer of material interconnecting the longitudinal ribs after expansion in the baking process. In another embodiment, the carrier may include transverse ribs that provide additional support to the carrier without interfering with the electrophoretic coating process.
