My only concern, and yes I could weld in nuts, is that it is a high 
safety concern attachment.  Other than getting that right (and, yes 
hacking out the center stuff), it's just a matter of a big fat red and 
brown wire to the seat.  It's on my list, I HATE the manual seats in my 
new car, not because they are manual, but because the positions 
available are all painful.

I sold the manual seat interior out of a wrecked 80Q I parted out a 
decade ago, and I included the center support with plenty of steel to 
work with, marked both sides and included pre-hackery photos to help 
with the install.  I think it went well.
