Where would be the best place to get a couple of swivel seat bases that are easy to fit?

flebay or a show

No sites? Only found one on fleabay and don't get to many shows due to other commitments...

My camper had some awful racing seats fitted. I removed them to replace the original seats only to find that the bottom half of the original swivel plates were welded to the original runners (Autohomes conversion) - new runners had been bolted to these plates. I managed to find the remaining two pieces to both plates from Frank at VWBusparts (frank@vwbusparts.freeserve.co.uk) who correctly identified them as original VW Westfalia swivels. Took me an hour to fit them both.

I would speak to Frank and get two of these swivels as they easily weld in place on the original runners.

I got mine from here http://www.bluebird-type2.co.uk/
Very good quality and quick delivery.
They have gone up in price since I got mine, but having one is well worth it. My van feels twice the size when camping.

Thanks for that. Sorry, I lost the thread (or the plot!!) and only just found it again!
