I think Genius' idea is where it's at. That's how I did the 1302's E36 Beemer seats. Four pieces of angle iron, and some tracks off some old seats.

Cutting the old seat frames about 2" vertical from the tracks made 'em just the right height. Now, with so much adjustment, I can put either seat as far back as the leading edge of the back seat, or as far foreward as 12" from the dash

I couldn't bring myself to drill holes in the 1302's perfect floorpans.

After I spent probably 25 hours painting and wet sanding my floorpans I couldn't even think of drilling holes in the floor or the rails. I might be a little anal retentive but you can read the time on your watch in the paint on my floors, even the bottom.

I don't want to drill mine either. They ain't shiney but they are perfect and original. I will try to score some donors tomorrow and see how it works out.
