then you need to take the seat off and then rotate it so you can get to the bolts
you can leave the seat on the base but easier to just take it off

Mine was held on with counter sunk allen key bolts and the nuts (6 of them) were welded to metal strips that fed into the vans seat runner

the vag genuine bases are welded to the runners on the inner side of the top hat section.

there atre a few different types of after market ones , depending on the depth depens weather you want to remove the runners.

clean them off and you can see the dots where the welds are.

looking at the pictures I'd say it a mix of home brew and for something else based

I think you'd be looking at drilling the vans runners and then bolting the base though the runner and van or unwelding the runners and bolting though or weld it in
