    hey guys,

    I have been looking into prices for two svivel seats for the vivaro and have been getting rediculas qquotesd from home and abroad ranging from 340 to 550 euro. but yet I can get 2 ducato swivels for 195..???

    as i was thinking about changing the actual seats in the van to a nice sab or BMW leather set i will have to drill teh vivaro swivels as it is, so I weas thinking about getting the cheaper Ducato ones and drilling them.

    my main question is has anyone done it before. what base (if not the ducato) would be the closest to the vivaro to "butcher".

    Thanks,

    Pete

    I converted a transit and used swivel seats from a Renault espace. Details of it all are in my sig

    I put fasp ducato swivels in ours as they are much stronger than the single bolt jobbies, overall I thinks its still a crap solution not worth the effort and I'm planning on putting espace, galaxy or voyager swivels in instead.

    My friend had beautiful seat boxes made for his t4 and I was planning on going this route until I saw these using plain old box section I can get box section is all shapes and sizes locally and its less work than fitting the swivels was.
