There are two things you need. The swivel mechanism, and the seat.

First, let's talk about the seat. In order to accomodate the swivel,
the Westy seat is slightly smaller (less leg support) than a standard
Vanagon seat. Some folks find it a bit uncomfortable, especially on
long drives. You could use any Vanagon seat on the swivel mechanism
as the slide is the same. You can also go for Recaro seats such as
GoWesty sells.

On the stock Westy the swivel mechanism is welded to the seat frame
overlapping the stock rails. Someone (I forget who) has a similar
swivel mechanism that doesn't requiring welding in place like the
Westy version.
