I've got a westy with the flooring and accessing the metal floor is
pretty difficult.
What I did was drill the flooring material and insterted a brass
bushing that I picked up at the hardware store. The bushings were
about 1 1/2" and cut about 1/4" off to mesh up with the flooring.
The inside diameter fits the seat pins (about 1/2") and the outside
(about 3/4") was pressed into the flooring.  This set up worked fine
for me.
