I have just had an idea, what about spot welding the floor to the chassis rails. Has anyone done that before? That would be less distortion then stitch welding, but I guess could only be done on the outer rails and not the transmission tunnel ones.

I agree with the Sikaflex to seal the seams, or some Epoxy putty.

A friend of me did make holes of 6 mm at the steel plate at the edges rails but also at the tunnel rails, he did fill weld the holes and he is pretty shore that it is better than stitched welds. No distortion of chassis, like some people think about.
The fill welds where made jumping from corner to corner to spread the heat, and the plate is about 6 mm from the edge so that the holes are close to the inside wall of the tube.
