I also used over sized bolts through the floor,with over sized washers.And I am switching seats over the winter.
It would take about maybe an hour to redrill the holes and use larger bolts.I'm not the biggest fan of NHRA but they are not our grannies.Spend more time and thought looking at your car for ways to improve your safety,maybe half as much as figuring out ways to go faster.(Not directed at anyone in particular).

Ed, no one said make race seats mandatory. But for NHRA to prohibit me from making my race car safer may come back and bite them in the ***. Ask Woodro about stock seats in a stocker, and that was a relatively new car. When the seats in alot of these 40 year old cars were designed, the industry standards were much lower and they were designed for highway speeds. Use a little common sense here, its not anyone is under the impression these are cars straight off the showroom floor. Even SCCA allows a race seat in every class, even in SOLO low speed events.
