think you can get away with riveting and lashing loads of underseal under the floor to hide em.
you are supposed to weld it in i think but loads of mpeople go down the pop riveting route. i'm going to rivet mine, make it easier to change 12 months down the line when it's gone again

parrot-lee yu is sposed to seam weld all "structural" body sections.

thats what i thought but every bit of info i can get off the net says spot weld because the boot floor is spotted as new, or rivet as the boot floors are that ****e that you will need to do it again.
think i might use velcro, that will save hours next time

lol - in that case - spot weld it (or the Mig equivalent).

If you're replacing the whole panel(not just boot floors but any body part) and it was spot welded originally you can spot weld the new one in. If you're cutting a rotten piece out it must be seam welded. MOT testers should know this stuff it's their job.

The floor on our last Disco was knackered, but MOT station would only pass it if floor was spot welded, hope that helps.
