Subject:Re: incomplete seat swivels on Ebay

The seller said that the bottom part is easy to fabricate, and hard to find
used because they often get damaged when they are removed from the van.  I
can't imagine that this piece would be easy to fabricate because it has the
round groove that allows the turning, doesn't it?  I think somebody is
going to be a disappointed buyer on these.
