I'm using #8 self-tapping
screws and large fender
washers to screw the pan
down to the braces and the
rockers. The small hole that
is left by the screw, allows
the weld puddle to flow into
it and give a great anchor
point.
Remember what I said about
shooting the engineer and staring
production, well, before i did all
this plug welding, I re-measured
the major dimensions of the shell
just to make sure everything
was still square.

plug welds...
