Movement in seat swivel base

[dogbower]

Both my seats rotate slightly when cornering. I’ve took the seats off to look at the mechanism, and it looks like the locking level thing is worn, so thinking if I can fatten it up, it should stop it shifting.
Anyone done anything else? Or is this just a bit of character I’ll get used to. Thanks Stuart

a picture of the offending parts would help, in order to identify if they are factory type or aftermarket, options for improvements will differ

[dogbower]

Does that help?

[Aidan]

so genuine
do the seats rock a bit ?
there were nylon blocks between the sandwiched plates, certainly on the later ones, often missing or worn

[dogbower]

No nylon blocks present, but they move smoothly.
The problem is when locked in the forward position by the rod thing, the seats move a degree or 2 when cornering.
So I think it’s the gap between the rod and the plate causing this. It’s only a couple of mm either side, but this equates to the movement being felt.
So my plan is to slip something over the rod to take up that gap.
