This is how I fitted one for sprints, it left everything in place so I could go back to standard seats as well. The bracket I made on the back left nearest the
handbrake which you can see a photo of in the opening sequence needed a plate welded under the floor to stop the seat flexing, this was recommended at a hillclimb scrutiny. The original box crossmember was strong enough at the front and the floor is already reinforced near the runner on the back right where I bolted through. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shmv2A9gJF4
