944 Floor Repair

[dustinhu]

I'm trying to get my 944 ready for our inaugural season up here in Seattle. The seat mounts on drivers side are basically gone. See photo.
Suggestions on how I should repair this? Some ideas I had
1) take the bolts down through the floor board - not sure if that is safe
2) cut out the same piece from a donor vehicle and weld in - seems possible
3) mount seat directly to cage - have no idea if that is a practical solution or if the floor would still need to be repaired
4) fabricate some new solution from scratch - seems costly since I can't do the work myself.
5) ideas I'm not even thinking of?

Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Dustin

Your first pic does not work for me. The second pic doesn't look *that* bad. Is it rusted all the way through?

No, it's just the top layer. Most guys are telling me angle iron welded on with grade 8 nuts welded onto the back should do the trick.

thanks.

What "season?" Is that a race car? If so, you don't really need the factory mounts.

Yeah, I am turning it into a track car however I still want the seat on rails to accommodate multiple drivers.
Thanks!
