      in all total honesty mate it was cold and we filmed it as quick as we could cos it was on and off rain , but it flew in with no issues at all, i was expecting to cut down the posts but nop didnt need to , with out fiilming id say you would have it done in a hr

      But how comfy is it? I sat in one the pther day and my head was pressed against the ceiling and you cant recline. I think you would be way higher up than the seat you are facing on it too?

    I fitted a same make swivel in my 15 plate custom, as you say, a simple job.... I soon got sick of the non adjustable bench though, and changed it for a fully adjustable Ford Galaxy seat, superb now.... T here were a few problems with seat bolts not matching up so had to make an adapter plate to fit to the top of the swivel first, then mount the new seat... the result is a very comfortable, adjustable seat, an of course as its a single rather than a double, you can get into the back without going outside, and its much easier to swivel.. nice video, enjoyed watching it..

    What a great video, I have a mk8 transit l3 h3 which is new to me and bought to make into a camper van, being a cabinet maker I am going to build the van myself, I wanted to swivel the double seat but it looked very tight against the driver seat so was not sure it would work, so I take it it does work. I was put onto your channel by the london guy who makes many mishaps which are very funny, you helped the poor lad out doing his electrics and van walls and much more. this is the first video of yours I have watched but ill be viewing many more so thx for your time making them.

    Loved the video. You are a funny man. I’d like to do this but I’m concerned about how much it will raise the height of the seat. I see in the comments below that is an issue. But my main question is, isn’t there a wire to be disconnected (every time you swivel the seat also) for the airbag and seatbelt sensor? I don’t see you addressing this in the video.

    • @UrbanVanlife
      @UrbanVanlife  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There is no cables or wires to disconnect mate and the and the seatbelt or air bag sensor dose not come in to it there is no disconnecting of any of it it’s just a case of putting the base on another base like in the video . We didn’t have to unplug any thing which was odd I know . The seats get raised about 1.5 inches in total and dose take a little gettin use to cos it feels like they have been lifted by about 6 ft . Hope this helps

      Doesn't adding 6cm of height with the swivel base seat raise the entire double seat too much? So it risks being much higher than that of the driver, right?
