Find the correct position on seat base according to the pictures. Drilling procedure is quite challenging because the template slips back and forth at the beginning. Eventually apply a double-sided tape. Start with one 3mm bore, fix it with a long M3 bolt, drill the opposite bore, fix it and so on until all four 3mm bores are done and fixed. Then drill the two 6mm bores. These are quite bloody because the drill tip drifts away from the underlying concave fillet. If you have a 6mm HSS centre drill - take it! Then mark out the rectangular opening. Finally, remove the template and enlarge the four 3mm bores to 4,5mm. Cut out the opening, e.g. with a Fein Multimaster. Deburr everything. If you want to play safe apply rust-proofing paint. After cleansing you are ready for assembly. Leave the wiring to a car electrician if you are not a practitioner.
