I am removing the spare tire carrier fron the nose of my bus. I'll need to weld up the holes for the mounting screws. Would mig welding on the body cause any problems with the L-tronic fuel injection computer and components?

There is a warning that came with every Mallory CDI instruction manual:

Welding

To avoid any damage to the HYFIRE® 6A Ignition Control when
welding on the vehicle, disconnect the positive (red) and negative
(black) power cables of the HYFIRE® 6A Ignition Control. It is also a
good idea to disconnect the tachometer ground wire as well.

Good advice. Additionally, I would disconnect at least the battery and ECU and the FI plugs and grounds.

Place the ground clamp of the welder as close to the repair site as possible.
