I located the seats in the cockpit where I liked. Then I drilled the floor for the mounting bolts (5/16" grade 5). I had to weld 1/4" angle iron to the frame in a couple of places to give me a place to bolt to. Some of the bolts go thru the frame. For the seat belt mounts I used 1/2" Gr 5 bolts and 3/8" angle iron. I think the seat could bolt to the floor (fiberglass or sheet aluminum) but the seat belt needs to bolt to the frame.
Touch up paint on the frame and it's ready to go.
