I have sparco side mounts in my classic. The mountings are almost the same for a newage i am sure. I got an old set of seats from a car that was being scrapped and reomved the subframes from them. I then looked at how i was going to attach the seats to the subframes. I decided that if i kept the sliding mechanism that the seat was going to sit too high.
I cut of the four points from the subframes that fix to the floor pan of the car and then made up some flat bar to suit the bottoms of the side mounts and then welded on the four mounting points to the end of the flat bar.
Hope this helps.

OMP do a subframe that bolt straight in. you then just bolt the side mounts to the subframe. It fits the classic and newage. Not cutting or welding required. Bolt in and forget.

I think you would need to pick up on existing floor bolts to be 100% safe, as the seat needs to be 100% solid in its mounting and the existing points will be very strong whereas bolting through the floor would not be as strong unless it was reinforced. Also you would have no adjustment on the seat.
