T6 bench seat swivel (Kiravans) and drivers seat swivel (Sportscraft). Can they both swivel ?

[Lucasimo]

Recently picked up two swivel bases in good condition from a breakers yard for a reasonable deal. Wondering if they can both be fitted in my T6 and work together? I have read on the forums here that it is possible if you turn both seats at (sort of) the same time anticlockwise. I also have the handbrake lowering bracket for the Sportscraft swivel seat.

Has anyone actually fitted two swivel front seats where one is the twin bench seat and the other is the drivers seat and got it to work reasonably well ?

If there's heated seat cables and airbag connections on the front passenger bench seat, I'll make an XLR connector to disconnect it before swivelling this seat.

Look forward to hearing from the community on here.

Feels a bit odd replying to myself but to finish this thread for the benefit of other users - you CAN absolutely put these two swivel seats in. You will have to get a handbrake lowering kit. Don't get the Sportscraft bracket as it's not good. Get one from Exeude on eBay - it's really good quality. Search for eBay item number 186945721667.

Van is getting some new coil springs fitted at the moment so don't have a photo of the double swivel in place. I have tested the sportscraft swivel seat and it works fine with the Kiravans double swivel plate. In both situations with swivelling you have to put the van in gear and release the handbrake to prevent the seats from hitting it. The passenger door has to be about a 1/3 open when swivelling the double bench seat. You push it forward, then go anticlockwise to swivel it around.
