Quite a few swivel bases bought on fleabay are incomplete with normally the welded plate and/or guide pieces that are missing. The guide pieces aid the swivel and prevent seat wobble.
This is the swivel base in my van. It is in 3 parts
Picture of my genuine vw swivel base - 3 parts
Picture showing the mounting plate that's welded onto the seat box
Red marks on picture above are where 4 little plastic guide peices should be part number 251-881-320 (£1.34 from vw van centres) as pictured in the link below
251-881-320
Other plate with 4 swivel guides (251-881-319) upper attatched
guide piece upper 251-881-319 not sure if these are still available
Hope that's of some help

Anyone know where you can get these guide pieces?
I've just phoned VW Heritage in Bristol - and they told me that they couldn't get any lower guides - 251 881 320.
Maybe someone has a better source that they could check for me please?
cheers,
Rich

I got mine through the VW van centre in Manchester (trafford park)
Try contacting your local vw van centre. I got mine about 6 months ago and they ordered them from germany. About £1.20 each
