before putting your carpet etc back in you'll need to drill 4 more holes and weld captive nuts into the floor.
The majority of bench seat models dont have the extra holes.

I have VR Spack front and rear seats in my LX. The front seats bolted straight into the back holes, where as custom made brackets were used to bolt into the front holes. The rear seat was custom made using the 2 normal backing pieces from the commodore, and cutting some foam and wrapping it in vinyl, which is the same as that on the back of the front seat, and placed it in the centre. The bottom was removed from the commodore, and we removed the cover. We then measured up the torana bottom, in comparison to the commodore cover, and cut and restitched the middle part, so the size is similar to the backing pieces.
I am unsure if this makes any sense whatsoever, so i have attatched the thread to my car. There are pictures of the seats on the 2nd page.
I will also add the link to a couple of pictures of the rear seat to help you out.

Ive got VT Front buckets in my hatch, not that u can tell theyve been modified shape wise, But the rails almost bolt up, I cut and shut them a bit to fit correctly, Yes its illegal to modify them, but its probly the last thing they would look at,
just sticking with the original seat and trim it to match the fronts,
My mate is a trimmer and he usually cuts the rear seat in half and removes excess from the middle section, Re joins somehow the steel brace/support and glues the center of the seat back together with their special glue and trims it,
