defender seat mounting points

hi guys just a quick question

im in the process of rebuilding a 90 and have come to mount the seats but all of the mounting points are missing for the seat base, they have been drilled out for some reason

question is does anyone know if they are sold and where from or is it case of knocking new plates up with a nut welded to them and weld that to the seat box so i actually have something to bolt the seats too?

also im in need of the spacers that go between the seat box and seat rail if anyone knows where to get those or a part number?

cheers

are they not rivnuts???

Large washer, bolt up through hole, large washer and a nyloc nut on top. Make studs for placing the seat on and another washer and nyloc to bolt the runner on. The first nyloc will also act as the spacer.

that was another route i was going to go down, will mean dropping the tank as its a 300tdi although i will have to do that any way to weld in plates so this should be easier

They're are supposed to have rivnuts in them.
If you don't have a tool to put them in you can improvise and use a nut and bolt to put them in.

You could pop rivet them in. Or plug weld for that matter.
