is it normal for seat mounts to crack like this?

Hi guys,
I just picked up my first sierra on the weekend, it's a 95 hardtop, stock as a rock.
Anyway i pulled out the drivers seat today to clean underneath it and i noticed that the rear two seat mounts are quite weak and have cracked.
Someone has noticed in the past as there were a couple of big washers under each bolt to help secure the seat, but i'm not happy to leave it like this, i've attached a couple of photo's so you can see what i mean.
I did a search but couldnt find a similar post, i assume it's not an uncommon thing as the metal there is very thin - i was wondering if there was a company that made replacement mounts that i could buy and get someone to weld in? Or if not does anyone know a good place in North Sydney to take it to to have fixed up?
Cheers,
Jono.
