Last minute Advice on Cutout Welding? Hey guys I'm getting my electric cutout welded on under the rear passenger seat tomorrow any last minute advice or suggestions on a good angle for it to be welded for clearance and should I have the electric plate on it while it gets welded Thanks..

put the plate on it until he can size it up so it --[the motor on the elec.part] --is angled up as far as the end will go and still have a bit of room between floorboards and motor for plug/wire not to rub on the floor..... just look at it and you will see what angle it should be...its really simple, but I have seen a couple pics posted that weren't all that good.

You want to fit it up with the whole assembly
but that would be in the way for the actual
work.
I did the fit/shaping of my header-stub piece
before showing up to the shop, myself, for the
location I wanted. That let the mechanic just
chalk and plasma-cut the pipe, and go to town
on the welding. New computer, no pics right now,
but just search up any of my 3 dozen cutout
posts and find a good side view.

Even if it was wired up, it's extremely unlikely the welder is going to cause any damage to it, unless the welder was directly grounded to the motor itself, which no competent welder would think of doing.
