    SEM makes a good adhesion promoter and vinyl dye that works well on plastics and vinyl and it is rated for seating surfaces...

    ...if you don't want red.

    If those seats came out of a 75, 76, or a 77, you may have an issue with the passenger side seat rail, the passenger side floor is different in those years, compared to your car.

    Nothing really, you'll need to find a set of passenger side bucket seat rails. The 76 and up ones are totally different.

    I suppose rivets better than nothing. But my gut feeling is weld it. I suppose some automotive adhesive and rivets might work. I know it wud save some work in covering and/or removing things in the interior to keep the welding sparks/slag frm ruining carpet, etc.
    I think the adhesive might be an alternative. I might try it myself as soon as the weather warms enough to get in the garage.
