The stainless floor will be bonded to the cockpit floor. I received the bonding 3M tape in from McMaster-Carr yesterday. It is a strong tape that is .020 thick. The specs showed that I have one shot at this because the floor won't come back up without damage.
Needless to say, stainless steel is a fairly tough steel to cut. I used both my dremmel and my air grinder to alternate rough cutting the panel leaving about 1/8 inch per edge for finishing. It was slow going due to the metal and being careful not to momick up the metal. I went through 4 dremmel wheels in the process. But by the end of the night I had it roughed out.
