Today was, sort of, fun. I placed the new floor, lined up the leading edge with the cabin pan, bolted it down with new mounts and welded the front onto the cabin pan. Not fun hunched inside doing all that, but the result was definitely fun...
New floor lined up well, but had a bow thru the center, so I used drill screws a bit of "influence" to convince it to lay flat.
Then I had to make a cocoon of burn blankets to protect the interior from weld spatter.
Floor welded
Welded the seat brace back on and screwed the bottom down for welding.
Got that done and cleaned up the welds a little so it doesn't look as much like amateur hour welding. That seat brace is rather thin material.
