The new Alfa seats I have for Dolly are a perfect fit.....!
But, the runners don't quite match up.
Should I:
A. Drill through the floor plan and bolt seats in place?
Or
B. ?

A should be fine as long as were you are bolting is solid and you don't drill through any fuel or brake lines.

Bolt them in if you like.... but don't make it too 'permanant'  |

Are the wires for airbags or seat-belt pre-tensioning reasons?
Worth being doubly sure what they are before proceeding.....
The only other suggestion I have is that it's a sensor for the seatbelt warning light.

Yes, bolt them in. But make it so that short-arses (me) can still reach the pedals.
Driving your rangey with the stuck seat was A CHORE.
