Use your original seat runners, you might need to make some brackets to bolt the bucket seat runners to the original runners!!!!!!

I have chopped up a Ford seat base before and bolted side mounts to the seat base then attach the seat to the base. That's one option.

More stuff about it here:

If you're racing the car don't use the original Ford seat mounting points as they won't be strong enough in a big crash. But you probably know that anyway

Ive welded in some 32mm tube from the tunnel to the sills, and then bolted the seats to them.
