All right all you nay sayers. I cleaned out some panel sealer and found one
side of one BE spring base plate over what appears to be the original floor
pan, all unmolested.
It was not welded.
There is a small tack weld to the corner of the radius arm bracket only that
may or may not have been original. I don't think they are supposed to be
completely welded, maybe not welded at all.
That said, when the sides of the spring box are gone, the only repair short
of complete replacement is to span what is left of the vertical parts with
a thick plate and weld to it, which is what my PO had done.
