Create
More Space: Many motorcaravanners feel the need for swivelling front seats to create
extra living space or even just to ease the process of getting from cab to
living space. So whether looking for these new features or simply upgrading
from an indifferent product these top quality seat swivels are for you!
Choose between the Mapa and Fasp brands - both excellent. Mapa are
supplied as boxed sets whereas Fasp are supplied as 'bare' workshop
products. Both types fit standard seats only.
Newer
Models & Airbags! Important Info!
Many new vehicles are fitted with ever more sophisticated airbag systems
and 2007 models especially are going in for side airbags with elements
of the system associated with the seats. Working on a vehicle with
airbags presents special hazards and cautions and all the more so if the
system is tied in with the seat structure. In these circumstances best
advice is to have swivels workshop fitted by professionals with access
to all the correct procedures. Latest advice is that it is necessary to
pre-disconnect the battery on 2007 models following
correct manufacturer procedures, failure to observe these might result in an
airbag error warning which can only be dealer reset. On a few models you
might have to make cosmetic trim adjustments or even some more serious
modifications. Please note that 'franchise' mechanics are not usually
prepared nor allowed to do this. We are of course happy to direct
our customers to their nearest independent approved workshop if this would
be best for you. This service is only available with a purchase.
NB:
Re Instructions: These are rarities with swivels of both
brands. You are expected to use your local DIY skills to sort out how to
do it, this isn't rocket science as they say, but you might have to
think about the process. These are handed units for lh or rh use - so do
note the general principle of the seat swivelling only 'inwards'. Some
confusion arises about handle positions; on the older Fasp style with
black handles the handles are mostly on the outside, while on the newer
Fasp & Mapa with orange handles these are mostly on the inside and
usually curve upwards. Some swivels have different arrangements like
lift handles at the front for example. Also see our instructions
examples for download
as offered below. See MMM January 07 issue for a comprehensive
guide to a more complex fit to a T5 with side airbags, heated seats, and
lumbar supports. This involved drilling, welding, and trim modification,
and was definitely engineering rather than fitting! Please note that 'franchise' mechanics are not usually prepared nor
allowed to do this. We are happy to direct
our swivels customers to their nearest independent approved workshop if this would
be best for you. This service is only available with a purchase.
These swivels are successfully sold all over Europe but we get a fair
number of "doesn't fit" calls, the vast majority of these are
due to a) trying to fit them upside down and/or back to front.
b) confusing
registration year with the more important date of chassis manufacture -
these can be years apart on motorcaravans! Many new models were
introduced in late 2006 but didn't generally find their way onto
motorhomes until 2007 and are referred to here as '07-on'. An example 07
van is shown left. c) Attempting to fit at floor level instead of
between seat box & seat and d) not understanding that
there may be substantial diy involved even down to using a hacksaw to
cut bits off, also seat trim mods are common.
Swivel Direction: Modern swivels turn inwards (only) to
expand living space and the handle is often now placed under the inside
hand. These swivels are not designed to aid entry & exit from the
vehicle!
NB: Our descriptions LH & RH refer to the seat & swivel position as seen
from the normal driving position, they do not refer to swivelling
direction. These descriptions are also independent of 'LHD' and 'RHD'
issues.
Size & Weight: These do vary quite considerably from vehicle
to vehicle. The increased seat height is typically 32-44mm but the new
2007 Sprinter version has an exceptional 105mm! Weights are
typically 8-9Kg for the lighter swivels and around 12Kg for the heavier
ones.
FASP
Cab Seat Swivels: According to FASP these are the number one seat swivel. Used by
the majority of UK and European manufacturers where quality and safety
regulations are severe as per the TÜV-homologation.
These swivels are crash tested and compliant with
TUV test approvals. Simple to fit as
long as you are a 'nuts and bolts' DIY-er. No central bolt. No rattle or
vibration. Note that fixing bolts are not supplied
as standard. Swivels fit standard vehicle seats so modification may be
necessary or limited movement accepted where non-standard seats are used. Note
that these are 'bare' supply, rust proofed, and lubricated, but no
paint, no bolts, and no instructions, Manufacturer
says warranty claims are less than 0.01%! So just fit and forget!
MAPA Swivels for
Boxer/Ducato and Transit. These are top notch painted products that come as complete boxed kits with bolts.
Many workshops are now using these as their preferred choice for Ducato
family and Transit and New Sprinter. Clever crash tested design based around a friction disc system and
now with new versions being introduced for the 2007 model
Ducato/Boxer and the 2007 model Sprinter, the latter being unusually
large at 105mm thick and 12+Kg. All are great value too! See Below.
Bolts: Bolts are supplied with Mapa & Sportscraft but are not supplied as standard with Fasp
swivels. In general you
will need exactly the same number as are already fitted to your vehicle.
These new high tensile bolts will secure the swivel to the base while the
originals will secure the seat to the swivel. I've asked the manufacturer
for a definitive list of bolts etc need but in the meantime we already
know that each swivel requires: Ducato/Boxer, 4 standard bolts, 4 counter sunk
bolts, 6 washers and 6 nuts and T4, 8 standard bolts, 8 washers, 4 nuts so
order a small pack for either of those. At the opposite wend of
the scale the
Vito takes 16 standard bolts, 16 washers, 16 nuts so order the large pack
in this case. When you order the
appropriate sized set below we will include all the necessary items for your
particular model.
NB: Bolts only available for our swivels customers.
Instructions: These workshop products don't come with
individual instructions but we've created a general instruction set using
two examples so
click here to open the
example instruction set as a
PDF in a
new window. This document covers the Ducato/Boxer and VW Transporter in
particular but has wider general application. (Mapa general examples
coming soon).
Swivelling: All swivels of whatever brand might need some seat adjustment to
enable the turn. Steering wheels, handbrakes and even door grabs &
pockets are all known to cause minor obstruction sometimes. In more
difficult cases you might have to release the handbrake, open a door, or
slide-tilt-rotate-slide to get full function. This is all down to the
relative positions and sizes of the cab fittings not down to the
swivel!!
ISRI: Please note that although 'ISRI' seats may have been fitted
by the converter when the motorhome was supplied new - these are not
standard van cab seats and our swivels will not fit!
All these swivels are normally in stock
but order in confidence because we will always inform quickly of any
unexpected delay offer a no quibble refund option if out of stock. All our swivels are sent out on a three day delivery service unless
express overnight is required when there is an additional £6.00 charge -
order Express Delivery if required in the table below. These are
heavy items, especially as a pair, and will often carry significant delivery surcharges to Highlands and Islands.
