RIB transit custom driver seat swivel

Postby kazoo_u » Sun Jul 22, 2018 11:56 am

Has anyone had a rib seat swivel on drivers seat with 10 way electric adjustment in a Transit Custom /Tourneo Custom? I'm fitting mine at the moment and it is a real botch, with the seat cables coming through the centre of the swivel as the seat comes forward it will crush (possibly cut) the cables with the forward and backward motor. The motor also rubs on the raised centre of the swivel. Thinking the rails are going to need minimum of 10mm of spacing.

Ps I've added some grey conduit to the cable to try and protect it for the time being.

Keep us posted on how you go with this. Ive ordered the 10 way power seat and wouldn't mind fitting a swivel when the van finally arrives, if its possible that is?

Put some spacers in between swivel and seat rails, approximately 10mm, to resolve the cable trapping and motor rubbing issues
