Does anyone have pictures of what the floor on passenger side for an early car is supposed to look like in terms.of seat mounts? New floors going in don't have those already installed and just not sure where everything goes? Here are the parts I haveAttached Image

The long flatish rectangular pieces go underneath the car to reinforce the seat track area.

The little pieces with the two studs are used to hold down the fixed passenger seat bottom. I believe the front is held down with one stud and the rear by two or vis versa. I'm sure someone will post pics or just look at your passenger seat bottom. Seat goes over the stud and then a washer and nut hold it in place. There is no torque on the seat bottom so it doesn't take much to secure.

The adjustable drivers seat install video is here. I have not done the early fixed passenger seat… so I’ll defer to other here.

Bill here is an original 914-6. You can see the lower back pad is held in place with 2 large chrome screws to the firewall before the passenger lower seat bucket is bolted to the floor with the 4 small studs.

I believe fiberglass shell for the seat also bolts to the floor pan with two 6mm bolts at the front cross member, you can see the two trapped nuts in this photo. This would provide the location of the rear studs.
