Some things we should all keep in mind when installing non-stock seats...
the mounting of seats is a safety consideration that even VW didnt get right
till May of 1972 when they upgraded to the 3 point mounts.

Seats MUST be mounted such that they cant tear loose in an accident... and
this can put an enormous amount of force on the mounts when the weight of a
person is considered.  If the seat comes loose in a front or rear end
collision you will likely suffer serious injury.

SO... make sure they are mounted SECURELY... WELDED or BOLTED THROUGH
mounts... no sheetmetal screws or mounts to unreinforced sheetmetal.  Look
and see how they were held in place in the car they came out of... this will
help in a custom installation.
