Which of the three holes should I screw in?  If its the top center, the seat doesn't center with the rear hump. My '71 Barracuda has a missing rear seat bracket on the drivers side. I think I know why.  The circular rod that's used to help screw it to the bracket is hitting the floor on the drivers side.  The circular rod is too long after I measured it.  It is tack welded so I can fix that.  I'd like to center the seat, so I may have to move the original rear seat bracket.  I fabricated a rear seat bracket for the drivers side.
Any thoughts?

They provided the 3 holes so any could be used.  Lots of tolerance in the backrest frame and the body panel weldments.
Make sure it looks good to you...evenness to the package tray and side panels.

I am pretty sure mine was the middle.

Is the seat supposed to be centered in the hump?  The engine is moved 2" to the passengers side so there is room for the steering.  The hump is probably moved to the passengers side as well.  I wouldn't judge where the seat needs to be by where the trans tunnel is.  Install the rear interior panels.  That will show you were the seat back need to be.  :alan2cents:

How does the center of the seat back match up to the center of the package tray?

The brackets that the screws go into measure 9 1/2 inches to the center hole out to the inner wheelhouse.My rear seat is out and I measured it.

I'll take a pic tomorrow for my 70 challenger. It looks the same as yours, so I would assume it would be the same.

Took another look this morning and aligning the back seat against the package tray.  Looks like the lower left hole aligns up.  I still need to modify the curved rod on the drivers side since it is resting on the floor.

Thanks all.
