Thanks very much for this video. I’m in the middle of this swivel installation on my daughter’s ‘86 Vanagon. You answered all the questions I had. Piece of cake now. Fred
Hi, nice job and a big help as I'm about to embark on the same for my T3! You mention power steering at the end of the video. I was considering that but info I had was that insurance companies don't like the modification. Did you manage to sort that ok?
Hi Neil, thanks for your message and good luck with your swivel seats install buddy. In terms of the power steering, mine is factory fitted, a pretty rare option and is a hydraulic system run from a pump in the engine bay. The aftermarket kits you can buy are made primarily from other vehicle manufacturers electric pumps, mostly vauxhall corsa, and they are a bit vague to be polite. Every van I have driven with the system fitted is great for parking but can be pretty bad and notchy whilst driving, just my opinion of course and there may be a better system out there these days. I would recommend driving one with the same system fitted to a van that you are after and make your own mind up buddy. Good luck with it all buddy 👍 😀
@@vwbusbits Thanks for the advice and once again for the video. Very helpful and have fitted the seat bases ok which is a great asset, and we love 'em! Thanks also re the power steering info, am thinking we stick as we are (and I remain the main driver 😐). Appreciate your help!
Great job. But to be honest, these are not well designed. I have 2 different makes, just a copy of yours. Not well thought out at all. Anyway, like I said, nice job.
