Mk6 Transit 2002 with handbrake on drivers left.
Thinking of fitting the FASP swivel base to the drivers seat, as usual had a search on here for advice but still need to find out if the handbrake definitely needs relocating lower down as some say or if it is possible to just operate the swivel (rotate it to be rear facing) by lowering the handbrake lever to the off position to allow the seat to pass over it, as others claim?
Looking at the height of the handbrake I can't really see how it won't get in the way unless the swivel base lifts it considerably.
I'm assuming the adjustment rails (for forward/backward) sit on top of the swivel base when it is sandwiched between the seat and battery box?
If anyone has any definite first hand advice I'd appreciate it - it seems some say the handbrake needs to be repositioned or it will never work and some say not if you lower it to 'handbrake off' whilst you rotate the seat.
Also wouldn't repositioning the handbrake lever lower slacken the handbrake cable meaning it then needs adjusting?
Thanks in advance gents.
