If you search ebay for "isri truck seat" or slight variations thereof, you should get hits from second hand seats to brand new ones for over a grand! I believe they were also popular in some taxis.
For those who don't know, ISRI is short for Isringhausen who are one of the major manufacturers of commercial vehicle seats. The majority of what we call "Captains Chairs" in our Classics are Isri truck seats mounted on a swivel plinth.
This basically means that you can tap into the commercial vehicle marketplaces when looking for seat spares and upgrades, as well as the traditional camper markets, and maybe save some money.
The seat is usually secured to the plinth by 4 hex bolts, which when removed allow the seat to come away in a single piece, revealing the plinth and swivel mechanism as manufactured by Hymer, which, those of you who have actually disassembled one will agree, is quite a primitive mechanism and responsible for the resounding and re-assuring "CLUNK!" that you hear when returning the seat to it's forward position. However, it's simplicity means that you can mount just about any commercial truck, taxi or SUV seat on it, from a variety of manufacturers.
