I agree with McNeely on both of his points.  Business people are wise to
offend no potential customers.

I think the OP is saying that a PO took out the seat, cut out the swivel
and then reinstalled the seat on the tracks that are built into the frame
of the van.  Is that right?

And yes the seat needs to be very secure for safety.  200lb person in a hit
from behind accident exerting only 10Gs would become a 2000lb rearward
force on the seat.
