I could claim that I didn't fit the captive nuts to my new floor until after
I had welded it in to ensure they were in the correct place, but I'd be
lying. I marked the position and cut a rectangular slot not quite as wide
as the nut and about an inch long. I then cut a strip of metal about the
same size as the cutout and welded the nut to it, with a hole for the bolt
in the appropriate place. With a bolt in the nut I fiddled it with its
strip of metal through the slot in the floorboard, then welded it in
position with the strip at 90 degrees to the slot.
