Alex,  I used a set from Moss for my BT7.   They look like a great copy but 
they need to strengthen their stud welds.   I had 2 of the studs come loose 
just from moving the seats
around a bit when I was installing them.   I suggest either an extra tack 
weld on each stud
or you can reinstall the loss ones with an extra nut to hold it in place, 
kind of a pita to get
them on but thats how I fixed my issue.   Other than that they work fine.

Mark
