Trying to figure out how this is done, since the sheet metal is so thin, plywood on top etc, I read somewhere about toggle screws , but I cant figure out how that could be done? so, what is the best way to install?

Alot of oppions on it, but I used 1/4 inch diameter rivets, i got them at my auto paint and body shop, this has worked and alot of guys use them, nothen has failed or wore out yet, its been three years now, not even looses.
I had to buy the big daddy rivet gun for these big boys.

I asked the same question not too long ago, the most popular response i got was to use the toggle bolts. Thats the way im going to go as well.

The part I dont get is : do you drill in the sheet metal or not, if you do , how do you bolt it up?

Froggy, I assume your not decking over your bench seats, As I did after I carpeted over my bench seats I simply drilled four holes for the rivets in the bench seat and then drilled a center hole for the seat post to go into, then I popped the barcket straight to the bench, she is as tight as the day I did it, its not coming off unless I drill out the rivets 8)

You have to drill into the bench sheet. If you are decking your seat I think you can just use stainless screws into the wood and seat. If you spread the load it shouldnt really pose a problem imo.
