Factory swivels are in the seats, thats why you lose the height adjustment. I have read on here that it is possible to retro fit.
Right, sorry I misread the question. I thought it was just about swapping the seats. That makes more sense!
Yes, the swivels are in the seats. I believe someone on here tried to retrofit the swivel to a different seat but not sure if they were successful

Thank you for the reply. I’m searched here but can’t find anything..
Hopefully someone will come along with more info.
Possibly daft question but if the aim is to gain heated seats I assume your van has the wiring in place for that or you have a plan?

Not a daft question at all. Hmm didn’t think of that. I will look into it.
I took out my height adjustable base and swapped it with a factory swivel.
Pretty straight forward. Not many bolts.
Remove the seat base 4x bolts, back rest 4x bolts and swap. The seat base only uses two bolts though and has a bit that slides in instead for the rear ones. Plastics are different

Thank you.
Would you be willing to sell me the height adjustment base please ?
Sold a long time ago I'm afraid along with the donor seat. Sorry.
Usually some on ebay.
Thanks dude
Would you know if the T5 height adjustment base would fit a T6.1 seat ?
Do you by any chance have a list of part numbers required to swap to factory swivels?
You will need at least parts 20/25 plus all the correct plastics.
Looking at those prices you can buy a whole seat nearly. Which as you can see is what I did, then sold my original single seat. Worked out far less. Although seem to be hard to come by now, especially on their own.
