im welding mine in. if you dont you run the risk of it flexing slightly under braking. this in turn will cause the copper brake pipes to flex and eventually work harden.
what that means in simple terms is a cracked brake pipe which = crash.
from memory a few people with locosts have had it happen so i dont feel its worth the risk not to weld it in just for the sake of having a removeable pedal box that will most likely never need to be removed.
