spring hanger to new floor

[stag36587]

This is a great jigsaw puzzle but the smell of rust damp and mould is gradually fading.

I've just (successfully!) welded in a new driver's side floor but I now need some advice about fitting the new front spring hanger.

The front spring hanger repair comes on a plate. Where the hanger repair meets the new floor, should I cut out the extra piece of plate, cut out a bit of my lovely new floor or simply weld the hanger plate over the new floor?

Ideas/suggestion/votes?

thanks
Alastair

Alastair, this is how I did it on the convertible I'm working on.
