Will the wall thickness of the square tube give you sufficient metal to tap and secure the plates with bolts or screws? I would think the wall thickness would be too thin.
Rivet nut would have been good solution also when your tube wall thickness is not enough but remember that next project 😁 That amonut of bolts will hold the floor in place and i have samekind of Volvo Bm T430 myself and wanting to make this same restoration to my floor but maybe next summer 👍
Good progress! Much stronger using the tubes along with sheet metal. Lots of challenging angles! The workbench and vice are coming in handy.
Looks great!
Thanks 😀

You are right, it is probably a bit thin but I have no other way to do it. And it will have enough strength for what I'm doing.
