 Does $500 CDN seem like a reasonable price for a pair of swivels in good
shape with arm rests?

people...the SEATS dont swival. the BASES do.  the seats are basically the
same from '80-'91.  any vanagon front seat will fit in ANY vanagon. $500 for
a pair of vanagon front seats is NUTS.  i sell them for way less than half
that. (and BTW, i have some vanagon captains chairs for sale)

if you want your seats to swival - you have to CUT the swival seat tracks off
of the seat boxes of a junked westfalia.  use a die grinder or cutoff saw to
cut the welds.
