What's the best way to weld up multiple holes in the floor? Ramdom sizes from about 10mm to about 25 mm
if theres a few close together then cut a square out and weld a new piece back in its place

Well, tieing the lose ends now...
Been having allot of trouble with the rad pipework, there is no room to run it underneath without making big alterations or leaving it proud, so still going to run it above as originally planned.
I tried a couple methods of fairing the pipe joins but 1 split the ali, the other would not stay on the same line and just wandered so was no good either. I've now ordered some olives so I can fix them on the to the tubes.
Are the indicators on the 300 style just a **** fit? or are mine not going in right lol.
Also need a fairlead, anyone had any experiance with this one?

One method we used for small holes was cut the rot out with a hole saw, cut a hole out if good steel with the hole saw and weld hole up 
leaves a bit Of a gap to weld in and is quick and easy
My rear rad pipes arnt flared and I don't loose water out of them just a good tight jubilee clip

like the hole saw idea!
The question with the rad pipes is, if there is no flared ends from metal tube-rubber pipe.. under pressure there isn't not much stopping it pushing it off!

Mine are on about 2-3 inches an clamped tight with the jubilee clip never had a problem so far. The rubber holds it on pretty well and there shouldn't be that much pressure
Haha the hole saw idea has worked well for me

If I have a problem ill flare, until then
Doubt you'll get any issues tbh. Did you get them all shielded from the cab by metal??

Yep they're all under the floor so no issues with regs
I am right in thinking that air pipes are allowed to run through the cab ?

Errrmm I know it cannot take air from in the cab and technically any silicone hoses is not metal and is not allowed if its just passing through the cab. I know Ed from our club moved his intake from the cab to the outside but because he had no metal shielding and no windscreen he had to put it under the bonnet before they signed him off.
Think the regs are designed for petrols really.

I've got rubber hoses that i can do it with they've got the length I just want a intake out of the way and out of waters reach and the rear seems the best place to go if I can do it legally

Sounds good! when you say corrugated, do you mean double skin like card board, cheq plate or like an old garage roof?
