Subject:Will the bolts hold the center seat?
From:Karin Baker & Raymond Paquette

Hey

I want to be able to remove/replace the center seat in my '87 Syncro quickly
and easily.  It's been recommended to make spacers to put in the rails that
it normally slides into, then use grade 8 bolts to attach the seat on top of
the rails.

Any opinions on the likelihood of bolts breaking, or having the nuts rip
through the floor in a crash?  I'd guess that it's not likely, but VW did
most things right, so I hate to weaken their original design.
