Hi J,

A bit of a conundrum for sure :?
There is a bolt hole beneath drivers' seat. As you have it in photo. U shape is clamped by bolt to hole mentioned above. Other end presses on top of battery?

Thank you both. I'm not entirely sure that ours are factory swivel as i originally assumed... is it the bolt thread that's sticking up that it attaches too? I'm wondering if I've bought the wrong bracket.

It’s not a factory/westfalia swivel
