I've been thinking alog the same lines.
Since the floor where the original seatframes are mounted is already
reinforced, this should be ok.
Although I 'm still contemplating a crossbar and bolt/weld it to the
heaterchannel and tunnel.

then fab a bracket under the new seats, and mount those brackets onto the steel square tubes......
so it would look like this from the side:
/______\ <- bracket for new seats
D____D <- square tubes
--------- <- stock tracks

sorry for the crappy illustration....
the brackets would be made from 1" square tubes and 1.25" angle and the "sandwich" square tubes would be 1" too. do you think they would be sturdy enough?

thanx thanx
