I have a crack running down the inside seat rail in the floorboard... the 
front outside captive nut is also missing, so the seat is fastened down 
with 3 bolts.

The combination of the two causes rocking of the seat and is starting to 
make me a touch nervous.

I could:

1) Patch the floor with pop-rivited sheet metal, like the previous owner 
did to the Spitfire.

2) MIG weld in a patch.

3) Replace floorboard.

I have no idea where to start on #3.  Is it a big deal?

I don't think I can fix the seat mounting properly without doing #3, but 
patching the crack would reduce seat movement greatly.
