[QUOTE="Maxamillion, post: 364721, member: 14031"] This is the seats design I have come up with, I wanted to have a swivel seat without drilling into the top of the seat. It is marine grade 3/4 plywood cut to fit the top of the seat, there are cedar pieces on the sides cut at a 45 angle. What those do is because the metal on the top of the seat is very thin it wouldn't hole a screw, but the metal at the side of the seat where it is thickest will allow a self tapper screw because it is thicker. So I will run a self tapper through the pieces sticking down into the seat. There are also cedar prices under the plywood. What this does is gives me clearance under the plywood so I can bolt the seat swivel through and the nuts will be raised up they don't hit the seat. [/QUOTE]
