Default Mounting seats (with runners)

Hi again peeps.

Got another question, just to see peoples prefered method of seat mounting.

I've bought some universal runners from cbs, (which are slightly to short to line up with the bolts in my triton seats). Also, i want to mount the seats 75mm from the bottom of the chassis to the base of the seat.

The runners are 25mm high, and i'll be using two bits of 25mm box section on each side as a spacer.

Basically, wondering which part people would weld to the runners/chassis/seat and which bits to bolt in? I'd prefer the seats to be removable.

Let me know what you think, it's nice to hear peoples opinions on how they'd do it.

Best bit so far: Getting it running
Worst bit so far: Cutting steel for wishbones and engine mounts.
Most annoying bit so far: Generator packing up half way through welding.

Depends what type of floor you use Ally or Steel and flat strip metal ie 25 x 3mm or even 50 x 3mm placed across the floor and welded to the chassis sides and fixed down with washers on the bolts will do and keep Mr IVA happy.
