As far as I know the rear just sits in the floor but the front bits the flat bars should bolt thought the original mounts in the x member

You may need to weld some steel square hollow section across the car where the rear of the seat sub-frames go and fit welded in trapped nuts to hold the rears. Those sub-frames are normally non-hinged, or at least the ones I've seen have been.

Ahhh so there is a sub frame mounting bracket in the cross member??

 

Thinks thats what im missing?

[Cooperman]

The other way is to have two brackets coming down from each side at the back and going right across at floor level with a piece of hardwood about 3" x 12" x 1/2" thick between the support and the floor to spread the load. You then bolt the support bracket & wood to the floor with some spreader plates under the floor. At the front you can normally fit a mounting which picks up on the existing seat brackets.

so whats the fixing points on the cross member for? 4 x passive nuts in there?

[Cooperman]

The 4 off trapped nuts each side of the seat are for the standard forward seat brackets.
