I'm sure someone on here knows if the 76-78 flat top seat base is a bolt in replacement for the 73-75 sloped seat base. Not concerned about the seats themselves, just want to use the off center pivot bases in my older coach. Thanks!

So, the later flat seat bases came with offset swivels?

The ones in my 1978 Palm Beach have the pivot in the rear corner. For example, the driver's seat base, when viewed from the rear, has the pivot at about 4 o'clock, whereas my 1976 Royale has them dead center. I have Honda seats in the Royale, but they hit the wall when you try to pivot them. With the offset bases, they pivot away from the wall.
