Volkswagen Transporter T4 seat swivel made by Fasp.

 

Fitting seat swivels to allow the driver's and passenger's seats to turn round to face backwards is a great way to make the most of the limited space available in a campervan or motorhome.  For the benefit fitting seat swivels bring to your campervan or motorhome we think it is one of the lowest cost, relatively achievable DIY conversion tasks.  For more information read our article about fitting seat swivels.

 

This Seat Swivel is for a Volkswagen T4 Transporter van (made before 1997) and it is made by FASP of Italy.  These are high quality seat swivels but have not been fully crash tested.  Choose whether you want one for the drivers side or passenger side below.

 

Campervan Conversion DIY Difficulty: 2/5 - note we haven't received any reports of difficulties fitting these swivels but you may well encounter small problems requiring tweaks or problem solving.  If you have problems a trip to a local engineer or welder is likely to sort things out.

  

Things to watch out for:

Airbags / seat heating / other wiring - disconnect the battery before doing anything with wiring.  After fitting the swivel, wires can be passed through the hole.

Things mounted under the seat are a problem if they are higher than the seat base - for example batteries, heaters, etc.  Batteries can usually be replaced with lower profile ones.

Sometimes bolts can catch when swiveling - if this happens you will either need to use shorter bolts, cut down these ones using a hack saw, do some filing, or source some with flat heads.  They need to be high tensile bolts so get them from an appropriate place - often local engineering / welding companies are the best people to go to for this type of problem.
