Public service announcement - swivel bases

I’m looking at a getting a pair of Sportscraft swivels. On the Jennings website they sell both passenger / driver for leisure battery and no leisure battery. Price is the same.

Can anyone advise the physical difference between the two types. Undecided where the spare battery is going so wondered if any problem buying two leisure battery type?

I think the battery swivel is slightly taller (35mm) than the non (28mm) - presumable to give the additional clearance over a "standard" battery
 
I bought the sportscraft from Jennings recently, service and dispatch time etc were spot on. Whilst a fair bit less movement than the Rusty Lee it replaced (and no noise) there is still some wobble, and i can still feel it whilst being a passenger. Not enough for me to want to take it back out.

As said, the physical difference between the two will just be height to get over the battery.
 
I will have a sportscraft swivel for sale next week. I bought it from Jennings (they are a great shop). It’s a great swivel.

I’m only changing as I’ve now got custom seat bases and custom seats and combined everything is slightly too high with the swivel installed.

If anyone is interested, DM me. I’ll add the advert/post next week.
Did you sell Sportcraft seat swivel in the end?
 
I am looking at either sportscraft or RIB.

The things I am considering is...

Height increase.

Height adjustment hitting any obstructions like levers etc.

Handbrake positioning, are mods required.

Base rear plastic cover modifications.

Most importantly feeling solid with no rocking as the other things can be modified.

What are the pros and cons of both who those of have either or work with them for conversions.
 
Hi, looking for a swivel with safe base.

Question is - when looking at the Sportscraft one pictures, it looks exactly the same as the Just Campers one - does anyone know if they are the same? Thanks


 
So, what's best?

Im on lookout for a single swivel for my passenger seat and am genuinely stuck on choice.

I've tried researching and watching YouTube videos but no luck!

OEM

Sportscraft

RIB

.

We had the kirwvan ones, sent back and replaced with RIB.
 
I thought they had sent the wrong RIB swivel when it arrived, might lose some of the lateral movement as there isn’t much steel left to move ! It’s a lot lighter than its driver side twin though.

Have you got a sideways shot to show the white nylon cones that interlock when the seats in the driving position?

Wave somehow managed to snap one of ours on the front corner and I make sure try and get some replacements?
 
Hi Lee
The interlocking bobbins on this one are steel and the nylon ones seem to just stop movement, I was convinced they’d sent the wrong one as this looks like the transit swivels but it fits perfectly
Caz’s ample a•se will test the movement soon .
