I just did one a few weeks ago and bolted it in. Drill three holes along each frame rail into the body then tap the hoes in the body and bolt it in with six bolts. I used 8mm bolts. But, whatever drills, taps and bolts you have will work just fine.
>>>>>>I think I will have my hands on a swivel seat base here very soon. I want to install in in the passenger side of my '85 GL. I know it has to be welded in - any pointers or advice from others who have done this already? Any chance there is a write up with pictures floating around out there somewhere?<<<<<<<<
