Van Seat Swivel Base with Slop-Free Locking Design
This seat swivel base is designed to allow a factory manual seat to rotate inside the vehicle while maintaining the original seat height and driving position. It is commonly used in campervan and work van conversions to improve interior functionality by turning the seat toward the living or work area when parked. The swivel is built for stable operation on the road and smooth rotation when unlocked, without requiring ongoing maintenance.
Important: This swivel is not directly compatible with electric seats unless manual seat tracks are installed. GEN-I vans (1985–1994/5) require a GEN-II (1996+) seat belt buckle, as the GEN-I buckle is integrated into the seat base.
