I've seen it posted a few times to use giant allen bolts instead of welding
in the pipe sections.  It sounded like a good idea to me, just drill holes
and put in the bolts, not as much risk of the floor rusting.  In addition
you could have a bit of vertical adjustment by adding washers.  I wish I
would have thought of this when I did mine.  The guy that welded in my pipe
sections was in a hurry so my drivers side seat is crooked.

Good luck, it's a great upgrade.
