John S. Simpson, Canberra?
Due to a quirk in my e-mail, I have to send this to you through the Miata
general posting.  Sorry, folks!
Unfortunately, I don't have first-hand experience with this.  I saw what
another person did as a finished peice of work.  I noted the floor-pan was
visible through the carpet-cut-out of the origional attachment point.  I could
see that the seat was now residing on the bottom of the floor to the rear of
its origional position.  He did say it was bolted through the floor-pan.
The person who did this, Dan Daniels with the government's weather monitoring
service, moved from Washington State to New Mexico about 3 years ago.  So, I
can't talk to him about how he did it or how the modification has served him
over time.
Sorry,
Bill Allen
