Re: Welcome!

Hey! Sounds good to me!

Speaking of swivel seats, this is something I was initially looking for some info on at first that drew me here.

On first glance there looked to be a few sites but since looking a little deeper they're mostly for 2007+

I have a double passenger seat, but want to at least get my drivers seat done first. Does anyone have a good place for swivel bases for my 2005 model please?

I've read that Peugeot 806(or is it 807?) seats are compatible, but, with my double passenger seat currently in, would this single passenger be an easy ish fit?

I'm open to suggestions, do double passenger swivels for these even exist? also would be down for getting a single passenger and opening up the cab a bit more.

Let me know if i'm writing in the wrong place now too :-/

I've found this since typing... http://www.marcleleisure.co.uk/store/se … 2ac1e6b323

but if anyone knows about the double i'd appreciate. Or any cheaper ones elsewhere!

Hope someone can help!

Re: Welcome!

Start your own van build thread mate. That way you can ask away all you want without hijacking another thread. I binned my double for a single seat. No it was not a straight fit however, the base on the single was thinner so i had to drill two new holes. If you look under the van you will see it looks like some sort of load bearing plate the bolts go through so as you are only drilling thinner then your new bolt holes go through this. Bonus and i have since passed an MOT so no issues there.

Trouble with my swivels is the seat slider dragging over the door pocket so you have to remember and slide them forward before swinging them and drop the handbrake (mine misses)

Scroll down to 4th picture you will see how much the holes are out

Flick to page six you will see a picture with them turned round.
