I did email one of the solar filter suppliers but haven't had an answer back so have to chase them up. Can anyone think of a way to mount the solar sheet into my 100x100 Lee filter holder. How robust is the stuff?

Odille, you might get other solutions. This works for me.
Take a couple of sheets of heavy cardboard of a size to be a tight fit in the filter holder. You could add more sheets if that's not stiff enough.
Cut a hole in the centre of the cardboard about the same size as the lens barrel.
Place a sheet of solar filter between the two sheets,
Staple at several places around the edge so the staples will be outside the front lens element. I found glue would not work. Do not make the film tight. It must not stretch. A few ripples do not matter.
Trim the film to the cardboard.
Store in a ziplock freezer bag between a couple of sheets of tissue.
That's similar to how I did my binoculars.
