I think a side by side comparison would be required to fully appreciate the possibility of fitting your seat onto the swivel base - not really inspected the bottom of my seats that well but from memory it all seems to be welded together, I assume thats what you were asking. The other possibility is to remove and swap the seat covering between yours and the other seat which could be easier as the seat runners should be the same width on both - but a comparison would have to be made ;)

I believe the seats are the same and it is just the bases that are different.

 

Should fit ok

yes the swivel sub frames are only bolted to the seats and the floor pan, but the swivel lever IIRC is part of the seat!

there is a hadle on the seat base that permits seat height to be adjusted. on swivelling seats there a similar handle on the other side of the seat to release the catch that stops the seat swivelling when you don't want it to! If your current seat doesn't have this handle you might have a problem!
