Had a look under mine, seems the original hole is just that, a hole cut into floor to accomodate the boss part of the base. Be carefull where you site it as the floor is corrugated and look out for any pipes etc.
You may have to use spacers.
To cut the hole if you don't have a hole cutter, mark out the diameter and drill a series of small holes as close as posiible to each other, cut hole to hole using a junior hacksaw blade or other, knock out the centre and clean up the edge with a file, rust-proof the edge of the hole.
After fitting, slap some underseal on the underneath.

If you never have a route planned ...how can you ever be lost?

That'll do fine. Use the correct size self-tappers
