Not great, but my old one:
Rear onto the rear seatbelt clip bolts, sides were nut and bolted through the side of the subframes.

dont need to weld it, but its best if it is.
You can just drill a 12mm (i think off the top of my head) through the tunnel (on the side) making sure there is nothing on the other side to drill into
Then screw the bolt/eye bolt into the spreader plate sandwiching the floor/tunnel between them. The bolt/eye bolt has a large washer like base so dont worry about it getting pulled though.

you get spreader plates and eye bolts from the likes of Demon Tweeks / Rally Nuts / Driftworks.
Do Not use furniture hooks or such like from B&Q

On the sides you just use the original mounting points. You dont even need new bolts.
