Race seat brackets, even the "fixed" brackets, have multiple holes in them for adjustment purposes. Of course you can't adjust them mid-race (which is where the pad swapping comes in), but you certainly want/need to be able to adjust the seat. Welding a seat into the car w/ zero ability to move it is a dumb idea.

Here's the RaceTech brackets:



You can move them for/aft via the bolts through the floor, and adjust height/tilt with the side mount bolts into the seats.
