I'm confused.

What happens at the back?

Where are the seats from?  Rails like that are usually used on shelled bucket seats with side-mounts.

there out of a subaru the rears have flat bottoms on them if that makes sense so in theory i think can be bolted straight thru floor with plates underneath ?

That sounds nasty.

I was expecting you to say that you would be making a second bar to weld in at the back, so the seat is supported on a pair of rails.

Don't use seats that are designed for use with 3-point belts with harnesses - BAD idea.

i can make another bar not a prob if the seats were designed just for 3 point seat belt why would they have holes in the seats for a harness or is it just to make them look better 

u can just about see the holes in there wierd

[Diamond Hell]

or is it just to make them look better

Bingo.

Bingo.

offs  well they will have to do for now in which case will my plan do for now ?

I don't know how it should have been mounted, angle-wise but it strikes me as it should be level and on rails, much like any seat.

yer looks that way so if i put rail at front lower enough and bolt the rear thru floor they will be sitting flat

If you're going to all this work why not make the seat rails suitable for proper buckets?

Strikes me as you're getting 90% of the way for a proper install then then falling at the last fence.

I *really* don't like this idea of bolting the seats down through the floor.

good point m8
so what il do is make another rail for rear and bolt rear of seat to that as well instead of goin thru floor that way when i decide to go for another set of seats there in place ready to go

also had a looky at the subaru seats and seams they have metal frame work al the way round the seat inside including were the holes are for the harnesses strange a
