I bought the swivels and slides used on ebay, so don't know all the brands.
The swivels are 2 1/2" tall, but now that I've bolted things together,
I think I could easily have gone taller. I'll put in some more metal
channel under the seats to raise the height. The swivels are a bit on the wobbly
side, so we'll either beef them up or replace them.

The slides I got were new old stock a/c delco's for an 80's rv/van conversion.
I think all told I'm into it $75 for the seats, ~$100 for the slides, $100 for the swivels, ~$20
for misc hardware. Swivels and slides could probably be gotten more cheaply at the men's mall;
shipping of heavy parts really adds up.

hope this helps...
