I'll do that tomorrow, and I'll clean up and dry the interior. Then I'll plan the repair with no rush.

Other question: does the carpet have a plastic, waterproof backing? In other words, is all the coolant soaked into the carpet? Or is there coolant down on the sheet metal under the carpet? And do I have to remove the carpet to clean up under there?

Yeah, I'd wait on one from RA.The tubing is also available there by the foot. I keep a couple of feet, and a couple of splices in the trunk of my cars, just in case.

This says ground to sheetmetal, no, ground to the engine block. Our body is only grounded thru a thin wire, and current flows in it, so the body is not at the engine voltage.
Get aluminum, and ground it to the engine next to the starter.
