The tab on the 98 seat went forward, so I used a 3lb hammer to bend it backwards. Then I put took measurements and determined the size of the plate. I measured the original locations and drew out a plan on the steel. I drilled 1/2 inch holes so there would be a little bit of wiggle room. I bolted the plate to the floor, and then set in the seat and marked the location for the mounting holes. I made them 1/2 inch also. I pulled the plate out and used 7/16 grade 8 bolts to mount the seat to the plate, then mounted the plate to the floor.

The yellow circles show where the bolts go into the original locations in the floor.
That looks too simple & effective...I like it!
