A few words of wisdom on the seat rails :
You may find the spacing on the rails doesn't match the holes on the bottom of the seat mounts (You've probably checked this already - but not took pictures lol )
If your drilling straight through the box section - the correct method is to insert/weld a tube into the box section so it doesn't collapse/crush when tightening down the seat mount - personally I can't see your box section collapsing when bolting down the seats - but thats what the experts say !!!
The easy fix for this (The above 2 problems on my project resulted in the following -) is to weld brackets to the box section and drill to suit the spacing on your seat mounts :

Or there is the way mine were done, use some L shaped section steel.
You can gain access to the nut/bolt from front/back side of each section and there's no chance they will fold as it's an L shape ;)

Hi everyone not really an update as i haven't done much mainly due to this taking over my evening

I did however get the drivers seat mounted, I started by fitting the seat to the sub frames then resting it on the new rails and positioning it in a comfortable position.
I found the most comfortable position for the seat was the front slightly turned in towards the centre of the car and the seat close to the exhaust tunnel.
Once it was positioned i clamped the subframes down and removed the seat allowing me to mark out the holes as so

Then i drilled the holes and fitted it all back into place - it fits yay!
