matthewK, the problem you have is that the seats are not designed for restraints to go to the floor,the backs of the seats are not strong enough and will collapse under strain. You have to fit a CRAB (child restraint anchor bar).
That being said the later model seats actually have an anchor point halfway down the back of the seats, so you may be able to check if this is the case in your vehicle.
If not do NOT drill through the floor as you will be putting your kids at risk.

only reason i thought throught the floor was when the old man got his it had a bolt throught the floor,
but in saying this i do have the 61/62 series body i have check and found 2 bolt holes on the back of the seat itself 100-200 from the top, with one side actually having a bolt in it
so i think u have answered my question,
ps: i didnt really want to Cookie my cargo barrie looks too pritty
