RE: [Chevelle-List] Floor & trunk braces

Steve,   I have never cut out nor welded in a floor pan myself, but I can tell you that there are two braces. One is for the mount bolts on the front of the front seat, and the other is for mounting the front seat belts and the rear mount bolts of the front seat. The braces are not cheap.   John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chevelle 69 Sent: Monday, September 02, 2002 1:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] Floor & trunk braces   Gents,             Have any of you replaced floor and/or trunk braces? I am about to put in new pans in the floor and I wonder how I cut the old floor out without hitting the braces. Are the braces welded in? I don't have the body off the frame yet, but am very close to doing so. I am not yet sure if I need to replace those braces, but it's a possibility. Still, would be cheaper to recondition these if they are in good shape.   Am I right in guessing that the nut plates for the seat belts and seats are mounted in those braces?   I have a mig welder and plan on doing some welding as part of this project, so that won't stop me if needed.                                                                            Steve
