Why not use 25x3mm flat bar across floor and weld to outer chassis and trans tunnel,25x25 may be a little too high.

i did think about some 25mm flat bar but thought it might be a bit flimsy and maybe flex a bit

Depends on what floor you have,but if fixed to side chassis rails and trans tunnel I would have thought it would be ok.

I did the 25x25 tube but welded in some threaded steel inserts which the seat bolts screw into.

I have nothing protruding below the floor this way, very neat.

I drill though the tube so each insert is welded around each end. It's solid!
