What’s this? Is my van going to collapse? (Solved)

[Brindle]

Just found this on the floor of my van, anyone know what it is or where it came from? It doesn’t look at all worn so it can’t be a door roller or anything? I found another one like it a month or so ago as well. . . . ???

Never seen before but looks a little like a cargo net bungee point as in fixes to the body and the bungee loops go over

Looks either 3D printer or turned on a lathe with the small markings

Hi, yes I do, good shout. I'll have a look and see. Would have thought there would be some wear on them though if they were?

It is part of your Swivel seat. there are 8 per seat. one pair of these is in each corner of the Swibel base. When the seat is locked forward they 'inter lock' to stop the seat wobble. Each 'Diabolo' is held to either the Top Swivel plate (rotates with the seat), or bottom swivel plate (fixed to the seatbase) with a small countersunk Allen head bolt through the Diabolo. Look between the two swivel plates and you will see the other 7 (hopefully).

You legend. Exactly right. Put back in with a new countersunk screw and some locktite. I thought my seat had more play unit than normal, bloomin solid as a rock again now!
