Another question regarding swivel seats.

  I've got a high mileage 85 westy.  The swivel seats are sloppy.  Are those plastic bushings what make them not wobble???  anybody know where I can get new ones??

  thanks,

  tom

Subject: Swivel seat (for 1990 Vanagon)

I recently posted looking for a swivel seat mechanism. Thanks to
this list I already have some leads but I haven't committed
yet. Before doing so I would like some advise because I don't know
squat about doing this conversion (I can weld and use a
hacksaw). When shopping for the mechanism out of other vans do I
need to be aware of the year of the van, or would they all fit with
about the same amount of effort? Would one out of a '79 or '80 work
as well as something newer? I have a 1990 Vanagon.

Thanks,
Andy
