Not that difficult to make your own. We made some tubular mounts that tie in the factory bolt holes, under car floor bars and into the trans tunnel.

I used to make seat brackets, by using 2 pieces of alum angle one turned upside down and bolted to the seat, the other bolted to the upper one, then drilled holes in the floor where needed to mount the whole thing to the floor. That was on chevys, they seemed to have flatter floors than A bodies. You can shim to get a flat supporting surface, and even drill a series of holes for a tilting adjustment. You may have to make a pair or two to get it right, but it`s easy. They can be applied to a sliding seat bracket too, if u watch the heighth (size) of the angles. I think I used 1 1/2 x1/8" alum. angle.

I bought a set from Jegs..........non adjustable.
They were about as strong as aluminum foil.
Cheap galvanized steel , not even .060 thick.
Then I made my own.
Real Flintstone like......I bent the 90's over the lip of a utility trailer's top rail.
Two clamps and a big hammer.
Three corners welded to form a box like structure.
They are heavier than optimum........but I used .062 cold rolled and it is plenty sturdy.
You get a little idea from this.......
