Hi chris.  I have considered doing exactly that.  The thing that stops me is
that the primary user of the seat is my 9 year old daughter.  There's just
no way I will knowingly compromise her safety.

VW designed the seat to be installed in a certain way.  I intend to have a
local certified welder put the plates in for me.  Doing it this way is not
overkill to me, though opinions vary.  I just don't trust the plywood camper
floor to anchor the bottom of the seat.    There's certainly more than one
way to attack this problem, but anchoring the seat legs in wood is not done
in any vehicle I know of that's been made since the 1930s.  Thanks for the
input :-)
