I used the clamp on type seat mounts because I felt the aluminum bench seats did not have thick enough metal to screw directly down into if I used a regular swivel base. The bench seats are filled with foam so bolts and washers wouldn't work either. After a few trips, the seat mounts, no matter how tight I turned the thumb screws, would come loose and one tipped over backward causing some excitement on my last trip out.
I fixed this by using two standard 1/4" electrical straps from Home Depot. I pop riveted it around the clamp brackets front and rear. That puts the movement of the seat in shear and will not allow it to tip over or lose its grip
