Did you reinforce the floors when you bolted those seats in? Those seats have the seat belt mounted in the seat, correct?
I have read,in here, that the floor should be reinforced before bolting those seats in, because of the seatbelts being integral to the seat. In the event of an accident the load will be transferred from the seat to the floorboards, unlike our original seatbelts being bolted separate from the seat.
