| | | Swivel bases, locking or not? | Joined: Mar 2020 Posts: 22 stranger | OP stranger Joined: Mar 2020 Posts: 22 | I am looking to add swivel bases to the driver and passenger seats in my 1995 GMC conversion van. I was looking at the cheaper ones from Northern tool, but in my search I also found some basic swivels that do not have a locking feature that I could add some brackets to, to mount a seat that would also be much more cost effective. Just looking for other people’s opinions On non locking swivels? | | | Re: Swivel bases, locking or not? | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | No way I would drive with non locking swivels. Go around a sharp turn and spin a 360 degree with my seat and possibly the van too.

I would definitely get ones that lock, otherwise you'd have to hold yourself still... With what? The steering wheel? Doesn't it spin too? | | | Re: Swivel bases, locking or not? | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | | | | Re: Swivel bases, locking or not? | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | I do not think non locking swivel seats are legal.... but that has not stopped some from doing what they want.

Get ones with a steel locking mechanism.
