Swivel seat rocking

The memsahibs swivel seat rocks every time I brake. I've tightened all visible bolts which made a small difference. Can anyone let me know how to fix this>

Have you tightened the invisible gert big nut underneath in the middle (on the actual swivel point)? Replaced mine with a gert big nylon nut, for just that reason.

my swivel seat has always moved around on my Autosleeper,one of my mates is a rather large chap and I really wonder the safe it is when he is sat in it but everything is tightened up tight, just a crappy idea that Autosleeper had I reckon, it looks home made to me but that is what they were like apparently

CVC use to sell little white plastic clips that stopped this happening. Not sure if they still do...

Thanks gents. The big nut is welded on mine. I did find missing socket nut under the seat. Same basic swivel set up, rustic but not as bad as the Autosleeper bed.

There is a plastic guide missing from one of the rails. My wife has a panic every time I brake hard and having sat in that seat I can understand why. Handily, Brickwerk sell em-platsic slides not wives
