Transit Custom 2013 Onward Double Seat Swivel Base

Postby Customshop Designs » Thu Mar 22, 2018 2:26 pm

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.

Regards

Just fitted one of your swivel bases, well pleased.

My only concern - having spent 40 years in the Engineering industry - is a 40 minute installation time is a little ambitious ! If you are doing it day in / day out then yes, but I think for the first timer 90 minutes to 2 hours is more realistic !!

Hi from Melbourne AUS. Are there any other modifications required for fitting, Handbrake? Battery under seat? Cable for heating seat? Trimming plastic seat trim base? Also i've watched the videos you posted, and im not 100% clear on the swivelling operation. Do i need to lift out double seat cushions and remove pins, lift plastic head bolts everytime to swivel? No leaver. Thanks
