The bottom ones need to go on the chassis either with triangle welded on or threaded tubes.
Wheres the wood? OOOps too slow.

Yes its a Locust and the outside bottom seat belt mounts are a problem as there is no chassis there. You had best phone up the SVA station to see
whether they would allow spreader steel plates under the floor. I somewhat doubt it. You may have to weld some steelwork back to the chassis
underneath,which could also be a problem if the tub is perminantly fixed.
I had one some years ago but got it through on an MOT 1 week before SVA's for that very reason.
