What constitutes a "securely mounted" seat pan in a FED?

Oh yes understand that

When I bought my car it basically had a piece of sheet metal that wrapped around the back and sides (one piece) and a piece of metal pop riveted to the lower tubes for a bottom. It put your butt so low in the car that I had to have a new seat made. We moved the rear end housing forward and down a bit to give me a better fit in the car. This made for a lot more work (motor plates etc) but being comfortable in the car is key to good lights , good driving and safety (or so they tell me). Do what you have to do to make it the best fit for you. Secure mounting is really a cross bar along the bottom leading edge of the seat and a tube or plate curved from that tube to the rear structure to follow the lower seat area. Great places to mount zeus buttons too.
