<html> We just finished this modification, and it was relatively easy.<br> <br> We just bent over the inside section of track with a pair of visegrips (kinda nasty, but that way we wouldn't have the sparks from cutting/grinding), layed on the salvaged swivel bases, and used a mig under a big sheet of fire retardant fabric. We cut out the front sheet metal (careful to not remove the bracing!) so we have a map pocket under the seats now. We used some of that plastic u channel (like around the door pillar) to get rid of the nasty metal edge, and glued a block of 1x3 to the back of the compartment so the maps wouldn't run into the battery.<br> <br> We then cut the battery box covers in half, and sectioned them and tacked them back together. They work dandy. A little snip snip of the carpet, a tuck here and there, reglue of the carpet on the wheelwell... and tada!<br> <br> I was just dissapointed the drivers seat didn't swivel all the way around.<sigh> In fact, if I would have been thinking, I don't think I would have even installed the drivers side. Perhaps a removable steering wheel? ; )<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> At 01:10 AM 8/8/2001 -0400, you wrote: <br> <font face="arial" size=2><blockquote type=cite cite>In a message dated 8/8/01 1:08:18 AM Eastern Daylight Time, <br> bscotto@UREACH.COM writes: <br> <br> <br> <blockquote type=cite cite><br> where can i find these... i have a 82 and i want completly new <br> seats... do both driver and passenger swivel... how much is the <br> going rate </blockquote><br> <br> you must cut them out of a junked vanagon camper... <br> <br> chris</font></blockquote><br> </html>
