weld ? rivit ? heck, the Rover's floor panels were attached with a
variety of fasteners, from machine screws to real bolts....
then again, they aren't structural, but just keep it/you from doing
a yubba-dubba-do kind of thing... made doing the outriggers cake, just
pop off the door, the floor, and grab the torch, grinders, and then apply
copious amounts of electrons in the proper places...
