If you do install, make sure you at least put some type of metal on bottom side so the bolts don't pull thru the stock floor if something bad may happen
The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.Proverbs 18:6

We made tubular mount in my car that tie into the factory seat holes & in addition to the frame connector/undercar bars & into the trans tunnel as well. Hard to tell but they are under there.

Yep, Bickel is where I bought mine. I didn't really want to cover up all the blue but they do help keeping everything looking good after climbing in & out so much & the seat belts smacking off off the bars.

One thing to get right is the position of the seat, also the height and lay back. Race car or street car once their bolted down you don't want to be uncomfortable . Block it up with 2 x 4 "s or anything to get it setting right then measure , drill and bolt it down.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Remember, seats need to be attached adequately but it's the seat belts that holds you and the seat in place in the event of a wreck.
I disagree with that somewhat, a seat belt holds you against the seat, it the seat moves away from the belt, the belt goes limp, defeating the belts purpose. The seat needs to be secured to incur all, if not more forces then the seat belts, in regards to anchorages, to allow both to do their job together.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
