Anyone swivel based the Mk5 double front seat?

Postby eresseraca » Mon Jul 31, 2017 12:37 pm

I'm toying with the idea to fit a swivel base to the double seat. Anybody here done this, will there be enough space between the base and seat to swivel 180degrees. Anybody done it, with a universal seat swivel, Mk6 version or custom made?

Will there be enought space between seat bolt holes in the floor and the dash to turn it around?

i've done it with a mk5 seat in a mk2 but due to them being narrower i could only get it to swivel 90 deg but it was ok for me as i just wanted access to the back :D

Thanks Luke! Did you find one that was made for a Mk5 double seat or did you modify some random swivel to get it to fit for you 90 degree rotation?

wobbles, I would want to fit one but haven't gotten around to unfortunately.

Thanks for confirming Luke!

Maybe I'll snag a swivel at some point and make it happen :)

Hi @eresseraca, in a Spanish forum, there is a man who did It and explained It very well.
I could try to translate something if you need:

Thanks SantiS2 and sorry for noticing this so late, I'm logged in here every now and then and tend to miss stuff!

That is awesome! I'd very much like to build that myself. Hope I'll have time to do it one of these days!
