I need help identifying this piece in the pictures below. I'm trying to finish a chainsaw mount. I tried to use click bond fasteners to avoid welding/drilling, but can't get the epoxy to hold on one of them so I'm moving on. So can anyone identify this? It appears to just be a support for the plastic "floorboard." But I'm not 100% sure. Should I drill it or weld it? Any reason I shouldn't do either? (Ignore the bolt sticking out in the second and third pictures--that's the click bond fastener that survived. Will be removed). I could also go to the frame, but I'd rather not. It's 1/4" thick and I'd rather not mess with the frame. The piece in question seems to be easily replaced if necessary.
Here's the piece I made ("fabbed" implies a level of skill that I don't have):
And here's what it will look like when finished (and did, until the epoxy failed):
Full disclosure: this project was inspired by Paul Short's chainsaw mount. I couldn't figure out how he did his, but this little piece seemed to be just begging for a chainsaw mount. I will also say that I have successfully used click bond fasteners on other projects. Nothing against the product, just not working for this project. If I had more surface area, the larger base/larger stud size fasteners would likely work great.
