I bought one of these at the end of March on ebay.
Whilst it is a heavy bit of kit that does what you expect it to, I must say I am really very disappointed to have seen signs of surface rust appearing just a month later.
This is on the exposed metal of the fixing bolts, the cotter/locating pins and their locating holes. This leads to think there may be more appearing - or will appear - in areas out of view, particularly where there is friction.
The van is as watertight as any, (it's a camper, we sleep in it!) we've only took it for a day out once when the seats were rotated so not exactly put it through heavy use!
It's fitted now, payed for the fitting as well so reluctant to go to the efforts needed to return it.
For the £260 price tag surely stainless steel or some coating could have been used to offer a good lifespan, especially as these are designed for vehicles used for domestic habitation.
Hi, we have had so many enquires through here over time regarding our double swivel base to fit a Transit Custom, so just thought it would be easier to just drop you guys a quick post on here.
Here is the brand new double seat swivel base designed by the Customshop team (Community Registered Design 001382212-0001) The Ford Transit custom double seat swivel base is the only crash tested double passenger swivel base on the market. The locking points work on a unique 1/4 turn 'quick release' system so removing all 4 fixing bolts and rotating the base takes literally seconds! They are manufactured in the UK and made from 4mm laser cut steel (raises the seat by 45mm), and has passed seat belt anchorage safety tests using a pull test on a specialist test rig to EC Directive 76/115/EEC as amended by 2005/41/EEC which is a standard requirement for insurance companies when making this type of modification to your camper van and also peace of mind for transporting your friends and family around. The base allows you to rotate the double passenger seat 180 degrees and lock the seat in the reverse position to completely transform the living area in your van. Fits all Transit models from 2013 onwards and is available in Left hand and Right hand drive versions. Fixes directly to the existing floor mounts so no drilling required, installation takes approximately 40 mins from start to completion.
