float mounting bracket and was looking for any help on how to weld this with
minimal fabric damage. Any help would be appreciated.

Bryan, if the finish is Poly tone it is fairly easy to cut out a section of fabric
and replace with new. If you have worked with fabric before it will be easy,
if you haven't, someone helping that has will be a must and use the repair
instructions in the poly fiber manual.
I would use a straight edge and razor blade to cut out a section spanning from
the leading edge of the stock front gear mount to about 8 inches forward of the
new mount to be welded in. From the bottom of the door frame to about 8 inches
in on the belly.
To repair the fabric, poly tack one new piece to the bottom door frame and to the
old fabric down and under the belly. No poly tack or wraping around the bottom
longeron tube. When you shrink the new piece it will pull the old fabric
tight and back into place.
