[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 388084, member: 15636"] I took a padded/folding seat and put SS threaded inserts into the 4 holes that attach it to the swivel base. Then I used some honking 1/4" heavy-duty rivets from McMaster-Carr to secure the swivel base to the boat seat. Then it was a slow painful exercise, lol, but I'd turn the seat base so the bolts weren't over each other (just for access) and using a box wrench, I put a bolt up through the mating swivel & up into the threaded inserts. Just be sure to align the seat to the base correctly BEFORE attaching ... as the base I had included a 'natural cant' to tip the seat backwards just a tad .... and on my 1st attempt I put the seat on sideways. Even though it rotated 360-degrees, when you stood up or left it, it would turn 1/4 of the way around and you always had to turn it towards you to sit back down again. Easy fix, just a pain in the arse after securing all 4-bolts and removing and RE-installing them ... 1/4 turn at a time ... [/QUOTE]
