swivel SAAB seat

Post by Marmalade67 »

Got a new van, our first T25 (Autosleeper). It has some large and comfy SAAB leather seats and the passenger has the swivel. This does not swivel due to the water tank filler and a cupboard behind it. Does anyone know if, with the big SAAB seats it would work swapping it to the drivers side, it looks like the handbrake would get in the way and it would raise it too high putting the wheel in your lap (its not far off at the moment). It would make a useful addition with 4 of us if one seat turned at least to the center of the cab.

The filler cap is inside the cab above the wheel arch to the left of the passenger seat. Yes it is a hard sided Autosleeper Trooper.

The saab seat will be too high with a swivel base for the driver seat, measure from the floor to the seat then look at where that will put your legs under the steering wheel :-)
Id just loose the cupboard :-)

Still wont turn without the cupboard due to the water tank filler being in the way between the seat and the door. A bit pointless it being fitted really.
