i just welded two 3.5mm straps from the top of the outer rails to the top of the tranny tunnel rails and bolted the seats to them with m10 bolts and big washers. Can jump up and down on them and theres no movement whatsoever.

I welded in 2 bits of 25mm box across the gap between tranny tunnel and outer rails. On the passenger side, using runners on the drivers

Thanks for all the advice can't bolt to the floor as seats are side fastening but can just make up some suitable brackets to hold them, cheers
