They ere originally spot welded together. The ones on my orange truck driver side had broke so when I repaired it I used 4 grade 8 bolts instead to reatach the the firewall mounts to the outrigger and construction adhesive. I used the construction adhesive to seal as well as add more strength. As for the floor pan it is spot welded together with seem sealer on top to seal the joint from water and rust. Of note the seam sealer only works if they actually apply it properly ( thanks flint!). I hopre this helps. Good Luck.
