I've only got the double passenger swivel, its from Kiravans, I would consider myself as crap regarding doing anything myself to the van !! but I managed in an hour myself, it just needed a bit of adjusting to the seat bolts.

Anyone got a pictoral guide on how to lower the handbrake?
Using a lowering bracket or cutting off the existing bracket from the base and re fixing it lower?
I fitted rib offset swivels no need to lower handbrake lever bolt straight in
Yes mate using a lowering bracket is my plan but i cant find any instructions on how to do it. And please dont say 'its pretty obvious....' im not a mechanic and vehicles arent obvious to me..... lol
This is the instructions for a sport craft lowering bracket. Marcle Leisure.co.uk
It’s not that difficult to drill the spotwelds out of the oem bracket to remove it then re droll the base and bolt it back on about 25mm further forward and 40mm lower. You can keep the original plastics then. Looks so much better.

I recently fitted a Kiravans dual swivel, highly recommended. Mines the third review down:
Kiravans T5 / T6 Double seat swivel (UK Right hand drive model)

Great little honest review, I cant fault mine even if the extra height amuses my teenage daughter into thinking we are actually the same height
the only thing I have noticed is if all screw down points arnt equal tension it has an annoying knock.

Sportscraft VW T5 with Handbrake kit Motorhome,Camper,Campervan.
Anyone fitted the hand brake lowering kit? I have done the passenger side with the sportscraft swivel, which turned out great very straight forward.
Is it as simple as it seems for the driver side with handbreak lowering?

I put a kinda 'how to' for my hand brake here mate:
KombiKommando's Konversion to Kamper....
Hopefully it shows how simple it is...

Yes mate, its the sportskraft set straight from ze germans!!
I fitted Sportscraft swivels to both front seats and I wasn't at all happy with the handbrake lowering bracket, it lowers the handbrake lever almost to tjhe floor!
So I cut off the factory handbrake lever mount and rewelded it |(it actually only needs to be 35mm lower than standard to clear the swivel) also, the lower plastic
trim can go back on (after being trimmed by the same amount).
Anyone who wants my sportscraft bracket is welcome to have it, just let me know.
How much did you guys pay to get the swivel seats fitted?
I have heated front seats and would love to have at least the passenger seat to be able to swivel - but cand find any idea of prices fitted and can't find anywhere in the north east that fitt them -
