Default X type chassis rail damage - method of repair

Hi there, I am in the process of repairing an x type that has been hit on the front end.
The car has minor damage to the driver side rail and in Australia it is a requirement to follow manufactrers specs and instructions in order to repair ANY structural damage. I am not a panel beater but I have gone through this process with many other accident damaged cars. The only issue is with this X type it is the first jaguar that I have owned with structural damage and obtaining the method of repairs has proven to be near impossible as the Jaguar dealership had no idea about what I was chasing.
So I thought Ill take my chances on this forum and see if anyone could help me with the document Im after. Basically a document that outlines the repair procedure on the front chassis rails.

Thank you in advance

basically the car will have to go straight to the tip if I cant obtain this document as the bodyshop wont proceed any further without the paperwork.

Thanks for that, can anyone confirm that this website will have the document I am after?
I've found one body shop in the country who has the documents but is not willing to share them...
