here are the clamps im thinking of using and i dont think these will squeak.
also, im not one of the experts, but looking at the significant structure we would be welding to, along with how the factory has it done, i cant see needing all of what dse did. look at the upper belt holes in a chevelle, or the holes in the floor backed by a plate and youll see what i mean.
my plan is to solid weld one of these ends to a 3/16 plate and then insert it from inside the quarter and poke it out into the interior. i will then slide another piece of 3/16 over the exposed piece and plug weld it through the sheetmetal into the 3/16 piece now inside the quarter. i dont think it will need much more.
