is there any photos of the bases of these chairs, I bought two of them, mint condition in Black and Orange but I don't believe the bases are the original, these bases are like the H base on the shell chairs. I have seen the bases before on the fiberglass diamond like the original wire diamonds. and reference out there?

They are the same as the wire chair bases.

chairs bases
Yes , I figured they are the same as the wire chairs, but on the bottom of the fiberglass chairs, there is four bolts that are attached to the bottom, so... they don't mount like the wire ones. the are different, I am looking for a photo/example

Yes
There are metal plates on the bottom of the seat to which the base is mounted.

Sorry!
I read the topic of this thread wrong. Thought you were talking about the fiberglass Bertoia side chairs.
My understanding is the fiberglass diamond chairs were not made by Knoll. I have not seen one in person myself.
