Photos are attached in my gallery under seats

Plates  are 6mm thick
you will need
4 off at 65mm x90mm
4 off at 65 x 140

holes are 7mm

from top of plate 10mm in
from side of plate 10mm

hole ctr is 40mm

when drilled i used old seats as template for new plates and i placed the plate so the smaller edge ( to hole) was on the outside face.

seat runner at front of seat is 25mm from top edge of plate

When i was happy i welded the sear runner to the plates


Note
smaller plates go to the front of the seat and if you are short in the leg you will be better off using counter sink screws instead of bolts (i used stainless) just remenber to countersink the hole before welding the plates to the runners
