Ok I took the pedestal and seat apart tonight to figure out the bolt patterns more exactly. Here's what I found (photos attached)
SLIDE RAILS TO PEDESTAL
13-1/8” front to back,
15.5” side to side
SLIDE RAILS TO SEAT
Front: 15-3/8”
Rear: 12-5/8”
Front to back: 12-5/8”
I guess you could put the swivel either on top or below the slide rails right? Trying to think if there's a good reason to do one vs the other.
I looked at the K&M one on eBay more closely via Northern Tool's site (vendor who is selling it on eBay) and saw that in the Q&A's they say it should only be used on a slow moving vehicle like a tractor and it is not DOT approved, bummer!

This shop4seats has quite a few in the $180-200 range for various applications that are DOT approved, but none quite fit that bolt pattern

For almost $300 this site will make you a custom bolt pattern one that is DOT approved.

I'm probably going to end up buying one of the DOT approved ones, I don't think I should probably skimp on my children's safety! Plus they're made in
Going to call the last link tomorrow and see if that bolt pattern can be done. If so I will probably go that route, those "simple" custom bracket jobs always seem to end up taking me half a saturday that could be better spent elsewhere. I'll keep you all posted once I get my order in and attempt the install.
