Ive always wondered how those seats were secured. We just dropped the one (repro) in Slinger's '67 and left it at that! It really does make sitting in the backseat a pleasure, TONS more head and leg room. We actually started calling "backseat!" instead of "shotgun!" Wink

A genuine Empi back seat has two "nut plates" riveted to the bottom of the seat.
There would be two holes drilled in the rail the supports the seat so it could be bolted to it.
Also, the lower snaps for the seat shouls also be on the rail, not on the seat itself.
Here is a pic of my original seat.
