This base is very, very difficult to remove from the camper without butchering it, so typically used seat swivel assemblies are sold sans this plate. >> i use a circular cutoff saw to cut the base off at the welds - and when your reinstall you just re weld where the cuts were made. you can make a very clean cut with a cutting wheel, without any damage, and its very easy to remove the bases. like my grandfather always used to say...
