Just to confirm in front of my manual front seats there is no plastic trim only carpet where it slopes down to the foot well. Can I drive a screw through this sloping location to mount the FE bracket without fear?

My pov pack does not have a bar only the lift bar to slide seat. Perfect fit would be to drill self tappers into the raised floor in front of seat for the bracket. I've looked elsewhere in the car and options are bleak. In the boot area just above the wheel arches could mount upside down but can't get hand in behind. Self tapper might work into the plastic.
Be aware, self tappers are for temporary fit as on the first gravel road they will all fall out, especially in plastic.
Agree for the plastic but in front of the seat would get the steel body under the carpet. Bit dodgy just wonder if it has been done or if wires exist under there?
On my car the sloping carpeted bit is the plastic heater duct so I wouldn't want to drill into that. Pretty easy to tell as you can see the outlet under the seat.
You can buy the original landrover mounting bracket for under/in front of the passenger seat from the UK. Horribly expensive though, and because it comes with a fire extinguisher that can't be shipped overseas, whoever you buy it from gets to keep that and just send the bracket......
You need to cut a small hole in the trim, insert some collapsible nutserts and presto, seems reasonably secure.
