Thanks Gary.  Do you have pictures?  As you saw in my note a few minutes ago, I have a solution, but I'm still a bit concerned about the amount of cantilever without additional support.

On my ES I fabricated a couple of stainless steel brackets from fairly thick sheet metal (forgot how thick).  They are each bolted to the spar carry-through with 2 -3 bolts  the spar itself carries the download, with any upload carried by the brackets.  I used -3 bolts and nuts to hold the seat rail to the brackets.  In the front I used aluminum angles with nutplates and long -3 bolts.  Works good and the seats are reasonably easy to get out.  I also put 1-inch phenolic spacers under the front rails to tilt the seats back and give a little more leg room.

Has anyone with a IV-P found a good way to move the front seats aft about 3=
-4 inches?=A0 I don't need the rear seat leg room, but I could use more in =
the front.=A0 Moving the rails rearward would cantilever them quite a ways =
behind the spar box.=A0 I haven't figured out how I would support the rear =
ends of the rails.
