Can I use driver side Galaxy seat as passenger seat

Postby Transitstory » Thu Jan 09, 2020 10:39 am

Hi all,

Newbee here and would first like to thank site and contributors as I have been reading this site since before I bought my van and was only dreaming of converting. Very useful.

I have a question about using Ford Galaxy seats in my Mark 7. As with many people I would like to swap out the double passenger seat for a single Ford Galaxy with swivel. My question is - can I use the driver side from a Galaxy and place that on a single base and drop into my passenger side? I'm not sure if I can move the seatbelt anchor over on the chair, I think the rest will be fine.

Found a driver side seat locally for a good price and wanted to see if I could save some ££££'s :)

Many thanks

Apologies if this is in wrong place.

I used seats from a mondeo ghia and welded them to rotating bases from a renault espace all fitted to a transit mk7 driver seat base.

I fitted the seat belt to the floor mount bolts for the seat base to ensure they were to a safe load standard.

I then had the full install confirmed by my MOT station /engineer

1 other thing to confirm is that if you use a driver seat on the passenger side does it rotate in the correct direction and does it rotate far enough for your purpose
