How do you screw/mount things to aluminum (such as seat base)?

[QUOTE="jethro, post: 468214, member: 12381"] Yep, need blocking of some sort. Even toggle bolts won't be good for a seat base. And if I can predict your next question.. "what if you have no access behind it" the answer is you make access behind it. Even if you have to cut a hole and patch it after or use an access panel. I had to do just that when installing my 6' Traxstech tracks on my gunwales. I had to cut holes in my gunwale behind the bolsters to be able to install blocking and access the end of the bolts for nylock nuts. [/QUOTE]
