Not a bad outcome as you have learnt more about your car, just a note, don’t over tighten the seat mounting bolts, the reason the factory leave them loose is because there is a bolt head sticking out underneath the lowest bar and if you pull the nuts and bolts up tight it bows the frame and makes sliding the seat back and forth very difficult.
Of course the correct fix is to drill ‘pocket’s’ in the floorboards (2 per side) through the carpet so the bolt head doesn’t come into play, but it’s difficult so of course MMC don’t bother doing it as it takes all of 3 minutes a side with masking tape and a flat 1/2” wood drill!
