Sure I’ve mentioned this. But we have worked out and 3D printed some chocks that sort the wobbling out. Easy to fit and easy to take out.

If these are available I’d take a set as well otherwise might be a door wedge which isn’t ideal.
Im Away from the office till Monday - drop me a call then and I can sort this out for you. Oli

I'm yet to fit my swivels but wishing I'd read these comments first as my old swivels on a previous van used to do this! I'm interested in these too please if you're selling?
I bought one of these for my current van...
www.kiravans.co.uk
It has plastic bobbins to help stabilise/locate the base when it is in the forward/driving position - they squeaked terribly when the passenger seat was empty and going over bumps in the road. Some silicone grease splodged on them cured that.
It also adds 1" to the seat height and catches on the side plastics when swivelling without raising the height of the seat first.
I have heated seats too so the wire passes nicely through the hole in the middle.
Overall not entirely happy with it.

Much more stable, the base is built to be 1" lower so the seat stays at the same height as the OEM base, plus there is a safe built in. No good with heated seats due to the base not having a hole in in.

We have had an MS Craft Double swivel for 18 months. No problem at all with wobble.
@BognorMotors
Will these chocks work on a kiravans 2023 captain seat swivel to stop front to back rocking when in forward driving position?
Drop me a message to remind me, and tomorrow as I’ll check with the team.

Hi, are the swivel seat wedges still available? Just fitted a rusty lee swivel on the drivers side, the movement is ok but I’d rather it was solid. Thanks
Yes. Give the office a call And speak with Simon.
Hi there.. do you still offer these wedges? Thanks
I was going go buy rusty Lee bases until I read alot of bad feedback.
So as an engineer I went with the ones that looked the most mechanically and structurally solid.
So I chose these Aguti ones, I'm really pleased with them. Fitted drivers and passengers and they dont wobble or move at all.

Wow is that the whole base you change as well? My previous swivel bases were Kiravans which were absolutely shocking.. was replacing the bushes every 6 months! Had to fit their sims to miss the hand brake and one failed and split! Only had the rusty lee fitted a month and a country mile better! My reason for asking about the wedges as want to keep any movement to a minimum as they currently areI was going go buy rusty Lee bases until I read alot of bad feedback.
