Battery under swivel seats

Post by rollercoaster »

Would like to get some swivel seat bases..
will I still be able to slide the seats and access batteries underneath?
Will they knock any height off the battery space?
Are some much better than others on these questions?
Are some much stronger and more stable than others.
I was going for sport craft ones, no welding required,
but then they are not passed the TUV or CE tests it says on the ad.
FASP?
What do people think?

Slide the seats, yes.
Get to the battery, only with a shortened battery lid.

Thanks, guess I am going with some SportCraft ones,
they are TUV certified I learned, price varies a lot from place to place.
If there is not enough clearance I shall mount it on packers.
Will let you know how it goes.

Result!
Two swivels, R&R bed, seatbelts, and some more bits I needed too.
Good man, posting them all off to me tomorrow.
Thanks for recommendation.

Sadly I didnt like the swivels or the r+r bed,
posted them up in General for sale already.
Will cut my losses and sell for half what I paid hopefully.
He forgot to send one of the other bits I paid for too..
