So I can get rid of the fold down seats and belts and as long as the checkerplate has holes that allow the rear seatbelt points to pass through and bolt to the chassis as before I can have checkerplate.
I really like the idea of checkerplate in the boot. It's solid won't rust and can take a beating of stuff thrown in back.
But I keep getting mixed answers some say it's not allowed and some saying they have seen it done and pass MOT no problems

I can't see anything wrong with your idea, I'd say go for it.

I just need to make sure it's allowed for MOT purposes as long as it's done properly
Hi have I fitted ali checker plate cross braced with new steel struts bolted in place with stainless steel bolts and penny washers, redrilled the holes for seats and belts that was 2 years ago and it keeps passing it MOT,l solid as a rock and no rot .
Ok in your world it never happend, but in my world I drive round in it every day, so I am living in never never land. 200 tdi 1993 white 5 door 7 seats Disco, if you still dout, I will try to find some photos or take some for the douting Thomas.
Photos or it never happened!
Lighten up a bit mate. Nobody's doubting you've done it - it's just that we like pictures on here we do. I'm particularly interested as I've done the driver's floor and aim to do everything including the boot. I want to see how you've overcome the gap between the floor and the bottom of the boot trim - mine will need 12mm of spacing between the plate and the floor to reach the trim.
