I have always felt uncomfortable having anything loose behind the front seat of the a/p. To remedy that problem, for my trip to Idaho, I removed the back seat, then used the seat bolts and pushed them through one of two chain links (and a large washer), and resecured the bolts in the seat bolt holes. I secured my load with bungee cords criss-crossing from side to side and front to back. Worked beautifully.

I made up something similar. I used a machine screw the same thread as the seat bolt, a single link of sash chain ( tailwheel steering chain),& a hardware store D-ring at each of the rear seat attach points. Same effect as your idea,just maybe a little dressier looking.
What are legalities involved in flying without the rear seat installed? Will the feds have a problem with that? Do you need a new weight and balance form done?

A Form 337 should be prepared, with a new wt and bal and a revision to your equipment list.
