Not required but good idea to weld the sandwich plate with the three bolts under the tub once you make sure the cage is situate in the proper location. No need to weld the plate under the foot of the cage. To answer your question, welding is not required but you need to cut the mounting plates to fit various contour of the tub ... ask me how I know

Yes he did and for an unknown reason once he received it he started removing the carpets and throwing them away. I am suspecting a disease, informally known as the “stripper disease”. Now we are trying to find the initial host of the virus.
Known suspects are living among us here on Rennlist. Beware!

How is welding not required if the car (mine, not yours) didn't come with mounting plates? Below is the mounting plate kit from FVD for OEM Clubsport bar. Don't see how these attach without welding.
