I am keen to avoid drilling holes in my new 3"x2" chassis.

I am going the long way round, welding and doing anything to avoid drilling holes, based on the view that less holes equals more strength. For example my radiator bracket is welded not bolted - and it took a little bit of extra cost and fiddling to do it this way. Four holes would have done it, but I could do it safely without the drill.

So - am I paranoid newbie - or taking the right course?

Am I wise to avoid holes in a chassis?
