There was some crazy European dude a while back that used lock hasps.
He wanted to offset the seat sideways, and they had the slot already machined through the center.
I thought it was a pretty hokey solution, but he was pretty enthusiastic about it, IIRC.
There is discussion of the "flat bar" solution in the "Seat Stickey #3".
