Holes in the tunnel... the overlay method? Patch Panel?

Previous owner poked holes in the tunnel to get wires through i guess.  I just do not see the wisdom and did not want the fumes / sound in the cabin.  Tried a trick I saw during my umpteen thousand test welds during my covid welding course.  It worked!  Butt welds are tough for sure.  You make a piece to fit over the hole and tack it on.  Then you take your trusty Dremmel thin cut blade and cut around the edge of your piece and push your piece in and tack it in flush.

Not a great pic but this is cut now on three sides and can be pressed in and welded flush.

Here it is finished - from the underside - no grinding.

The interior view...ground flat enough.
