Default Project Stacey-The Seats

I have another question for all of you....

I have also stripped out the interior and now need to get the driver seat back in. However when i took it out I snapped the left back bolt. Not sure how to go about fixing it but i need to get her back in. I was trying to think of options such as welding, leaving that bolt undone, or placing new plates welded to the floor and then bolting the seat to the new plates.... I wanted to know what i should be doing for it to be safe to drive on the road and off road and so that i could replace the seat in the future.

Drill it out and use heat to loosen it, get another bolt, and put it back in. you dont want to be in an accident without all the bolts, I feel like it would end badly. I did the same thing with mine, and it took no more than an hour to fix it right. Just make sure you keep the drill bit lubed.
