Default Brake stop plate on pans

I'm about to remove the drivers side front floor pan section, and noticed
that the new pan section doesn't come with a mount for the brake stop plate.
Due to the amount of previous repair/patches on my existing floor, I can't
tell how the plate mounts. It's just screwed into a mound of
rust/paint/fiberglass. Does anyone have pictures of what this should look
like on a new pan? Would I need to weld a reinforcing plate above, or below
the new pan (crappy brazilian metal, I'd never go that route again)

Thanks in advance,
Mike Kayer

After you get your pan in and your pedal cluster mounted, figure out
where the brake pedal stop needs to go. The drill a hole in the middle
of the slot and weld a nut on the bottom of the pan. You can then bolt
the pedal stop from the top.
