I guess this has been asked before, but I can't find it.

 

I'm about to attempt replacing my floor pan and boot floor, and I'll be plug welding along the seams.  Do you know how much of a gap I should have between each plug weld?

 

Obviously where I can I'll replicate what is already there, but some of the seams are unrecognisable now, and I know some seams have many more spot welds than others.  So I want to check I'm doing it right!

 

Thanks

The original spot welds are approx 1" apart.. I normally do the plug welds about 20 - 25 mm apart.

Yep as quoted 1" spacing will be good.

And hole should be about 7.5mm

 

Good info here

OK, glad everyone's agreed!  Thanks

That size of hole is not always feasible due to flange sizes etc. I normally drill mine at 1/4" and will go down to 3/16th on the smaller flanges.
