Fabricating a base for a swivel plate to bolt onto?

[si macc]

I've just bought a swivel plate but it there is no base for it to bolt onto, had a look around on the wiki and the forum to see if anyone has fabricated something for the plate to sit on but only found a reference to 'plate 19' (see below). I have plates 20 & 21, no idea whether you can get number 19 anymore, assuming not.



Can some one advise me on what to do?! Under the seat at the moment is just a large hole (no battery on passenger side) and the original rumers.

Thanks in advance.

that bit is normally welded in to the van. anythings possible but to be honest without that plate you`ve got your work cut out. the amount of effort it would take to replicate that pressing will out way the cost of buying a full swivel seat kit. s/h.

whoever sold it you should give you a refund.As its not a complete swivel base..

This will make your seat sit a bit higher but bolt a steel plate across your existing runners (should have some holes in them already) and then bolt what you have to it......
Obviously make sure plate/bolts are up to the job
