The instructions are from Sportscraft.  Please also see our own article about fitting seat swivels.  You can go here to buy this seat swivel for a Volkswagen Transporter T5.  Or go here to buy seat swivels for other vans.

 

If the seat swivel is being used with height-adjustable seats, the seats must be in the highest position before rotating the swivel.

 

The handbrake adjustment brackets are suitable for the original seats with or without height adjustment.
