Hi there nice video, where did you get your single seat base ?

[@timb7211]

Thanks for your vid, was quite useful to me! :) Where did you get the single swivel seat base & seat?

[@stevewatson2581]

Glad it was useful the seat swivel was from Kiravans and I got the seat via an Ebay source shipped from Poland. Hope that helps good luck with you project.

Did you need to disconnect the battery before removing seat

[@stevewatson2581]

No I didn’t need to as the loom was already located under the floor When the swivel plate was fitted hope that helps 👍

[@andypolfers]

did you have to put the van on ramps to remove the extra bolts? I need to replace a couple of mine. Thanks

[@stevewatson2581]

andypolfers no all bolts accessible from inside glad you found video useful 👍

[@paulfindlay6169]

how did you get the floor bolts out please? was it from underneath the van or just using a spanner from inside the cab?

[@stevewatson2581]

All accessed from inside the van as they rounded I had to use a deep socket and an adjustable wrench one bolt is hidden you have to turn the swivel plate until the hole becomes Visable 👍

[@tsiattalou]

Hi there, with what tool and how did the final bolt get removed? Did it require cutting with a saw or simple unscrewing?

[@stevewatson2581]

Just needed a extra deep socket to get access they are standard hex Bolts so no need to saw hope that helps 👍

Where’s all the fusebox and wires from under you’re double seat?

[@stevewatson2581]

They are tucked under the new swivel there is a slit in the floor covering which allows the loom to pass through there is a depression in the floor just enough space to house it.

How big are the bolts under the seat?

[@stevewatson2581]

Mike they are double studs M10x21/M10x17 hope that helps
