Rather depends on what make of swivel base you have. (mine was welded in ). Just measure the holes (most likely M10) and then pop down to B&Q. A photo would help.

cheers mark i think its a vw one as it lines up exactly with the holes on the seat runners, think i just need to get an assortment and find the right ones, just though maybe someone else had recently fitted one didnt realise there were different makes of them

Be aware that if you have to drill in the van to receive the base that drilling the outer side ie the wheel arch side then anywhere past the half way mark towards the rear of the van you will run the risk of drilling thru the breather bottles located under the wheel arches. Stick your head under the wheel arches and have a look you will see what i mean. If you do drill them then you will have a constant smell of fuel in the cab.

VW ones don't fit on the seat runners they fit on a plate (number 19) that is welded between the seat runners

ok so mine isnt a vw one then based on that picture, i dont need to drill any holes as the 4 holes in the corner line up with 4 equal sized holes on the runners that are welded onto the van so i presume the whole things can just be bolted on top of the original runners - think i will just buy some assorted nuts and bolts and find the right size one

cheers anyway

Sounds like yours is a jk base or at least similar (I think its a westy replica).

Just bought and fitted one of these but it came with the nuts and bolts.

see thread below for help
