Today I ground down the spot welds and removed the pieces of the t-bolt mount from my new trunk panel.
I started this threadpackardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11679&forum=4 in the General section, hoping to generate some discussion on whether abnormalities should be preserved or if no one cares. Not much discussion so I guess they do not matter to most. I'm leaning toward filling in the holes for putting bolts on the gas tank support straps and making it look like how my old trunk floor looked. I'll just put some more welds on the straps to secure them better.
I bought a large washer at the hardware store as Ross had suggested, and welded it to the inner tube of the body mount. I then worked the washer's edges down to give it a rounded shape. There was still a large hole on the side of the mount so I cut a scrap piece of metal and welded it on, covering the hole.
