    Take one of the screws holding the current seat in that location out and insert an appropriate rod of some sort to determine the depth before you run into the tank. That's what I did on mine and I also cut the end of the screw flat so it would not have a pointed tip any longer.

    I have an 04 21X and have removed seats and the seat platform. It's not hard to do but is a PITA and once you get it all out you have access to the tank hosing/vent line etc. It is apparent why you can't drill or screw into the base just anywhere. I suggest you remove and see how it's done.
