Hey, anyone else using these?

I have one for my drivers seat, I just have an el cheapo reclining bucket, currently i have it fixed directly to the subframe as my runners need some mounts grinding off,

only problem is the seat is really offset towards the o/s of the car, like right by the door!

so im sitting at a really awkward angle to the steering wheel, im guessing its ok to drill new holes on the mount to aid fitting in a more central location?

thats what im thinking... the seat actually is in its left most mount! and very obviously offset Sad not sure how to remedy the problem, i realise i have bolted seat straight to subframe without runners, but cant see how runners will solve it either
