I just drilled new holes - I believe I used a size 8 bolts with good size washers on both sides. The seat cushions only have two nuts holding them in place, so you can remove the bottom cushions with ease and that gives you room to place and drill the new brackets with ease. I was going to close up the original holes but I think I'll just put the original bolts back and call it a done deal, that'll make it easy if ever I want to go back to the bench style.
