The flanges and seals are attached to the floorboard and tunnel, as
mentioned. The floor and tunnel holes are oversized and you will need a part
called a J-clip. This is a steel clip with a hole with the size and pitch that
will engage the #6 screw and allow some float for alignment purposes.
J-clips come in many varieties so get clips specifically for #6 screws.
You may find them locally or you can probably get them from the usual Brit Car
supplier.
