Locking Rear Storage Cover Mounts

I have a locking rear storage cover (that covers the very back-bottom of the trunk) that I want to install. I need to get some hardware welded in but I'm not quite sure of how to line it up. Anybody have pictures they could post of how the mounting brackets are attached to the car body? Pictures with the carpet removed are the most handy.

Thanks!

I recently purchased a locking hatch cover setup from IROCDAVE and I plan on drilling the mount holes and bolting it straight to the floor. Just be carefull not to drill into the gas tank. His kits come complete with cover,rear hatch panel and fasteners. A great deal and a great guy to deal with.

I'm getting some welding done anyways, so putting on the brackets is no extra $$.

I don't want to drill because of the tank and also because it's another hole in the body that could rust.

I found some pictures online and another fellow was kind enough to supply me with measurements. Hopefully I'll have my cover on soon!
