Which Swivel seats to pick

[jonathan123]

Folks, Can anyone explain this in the message?? im i being stupid but what do the mean about swivelling 90 degress before seat will swivel???

 

[T6 Dave's Dad]

@jonathan123 Does it mean that the driver's right armrest needs to be raised when swivelling in order to clear the steering wheel ?

 

[jonathan123]

Yeah maybe @T6 Dave's Dad , didnt make much sense to me.

 

[T6 Dave's Dad]

Same here @jonathan123 and it's only a best guess.

Could it be referring to the relationship between the two seat, its not uncommon to have to do both at the same time so they dont foul each other ie turn passenger halfway then turn drivers fully then finish passenger but i have only seen this on double passenger seat setups

 

[T6 Dave's Dad]

@Pauly I think we are all guessing, but your thought is good especially as a double seat swivel has to be relocated closer to the driver's seat. Translated instructions ?

 

[jonathan123]

I have the 2 singles up front and i just asked them if the normal swivels would work rather than the offset ones. I`ll give them a phone tomorrow and speak to the guy to clarify and will post up reply to lets yous know

@jonathan123 My understanding is that it is the base that is relocated to the right, but not sure. For two front seats it should be 2 normal swivels I believe.

I've got single swivels on mine with armrest..... passenger swivels straight round no isssues. Drivers is a bit of a faff but you get used to it..... armrests up swivel half way (90 degree) slide seat forward so the back clears the steering wheel and swivel rest of say.

Yeh I'm sold on them I must admit @jonathan123 . How did you get on with regards to the heated seats? Is it just a matter of unplugging and the re-plugging a wire?? Thank you

Kiravan RIB swivals. For this call-sign.

Heated seats a doddle nice big hole in center of swivel base and wee connector under the seat. If if was going again I would disconnect the battery first, I have airbags in my seat and got airbag warning msg when I plugged them back in. Glad I got caristaapp

Hello, Just ordering up some new parts prior to the arrival of new van in a few weeks, I will have two single front seats. What is the best swivel seat base to buy, I know of sports craft and Kiravans. Kirvan do an offset version also is that useful or necessary??
I will put a swivel base on both seats
Thanks
Sean

I am having an offset passenger and standard drivers from Kiravans fitted today/tomorrow, I will let you know how they are but the Rib ones from kiravans seem well regarded which I why I went for them.

 

[Sean O Leary]

Great thanks for your reply, I have a Kombi so maybe the offset is only required if you have permanent furniture in the back! I also have heated seats so I hope this wont be an issue either
Thanks
Sean

Same... I did have a rattle but I tracked it down to the swivel lever thing. Bought some sticky back neoprene, cut it to size and stuck it under the lever. Problem solved.

Sportscraft here aswell no problems
