Default Cut and weld stock seat brackets?...

I just purchased some universal racing seats "MUGEN" and Im trying to find the right brackets but dont want to purchase the wrong ones. Would ya'll just recommend me use by stock brackets and have someone that cuts and welds do that or what would be more efficient? And how much would that labor cost?

some people cut out the stock tabs where the seats go and they just make the floor flat and mount up from there.. this offers superlow position and you can feel the car better

Yeah but if I do decide to order the brackets, how am I supposed to be sure that they will fit my seats?Or would I have to somehow modify them(then that would be a little pointless)
