Transit Custom 2013 Onward Double Seat Swivel Base

Postby Customshop Designs » Thu Mar 22, 2018 2:05 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

Sounds good - has anyone fitted one of these yet.
How easy are they to fit & what happens to the under seat storage?

Hi, they are an easy fit for anyone with a basic knowledge of DIY. It basically just involves trimming the cab floor mat so the base bolts directly to the cab floor and trimming 2 bolts. We can offer any technical questions and offer fitting advice over the phone. 01254 230300.

Hi, they can still be used with standard 'factory' set ups. Would just need disconnecting / reconnecting during operation as with every other double swivel on the market. We are more than happy to answer any technical questions and offer advice on fitting or any other thoughts you have regarding this product.

It is the first design on the market and also has full M1 pull test certification. A short promo regarding Installation and operation will shortly follow.

What about passenger side seat belt?
It is bolted into the side of the seat, so does that need to ne unbolted to turn too?
How easy is the heated seats connection to unplug? (can't see it in my van have to much stuff in way)

Hi, No need to disconnect the seat belt as it feeds around the back of the seat when rotated. The heated seat connection just simply disconnects and reconnects when rotated. It is a really simple operation to carry out.
