Double seat swivel sliders that will clear thick floor (rear seats on rails)

[meza]

I’m looking for a double swivel seat slider that will fit over the fabworx RS rail system I’ve got in the rear of the van. Flooring approx 30mm, rails approx 35mm.

Any recommendations?

Alternatively, what are the chances of packing under and raising the swivel seat base a tad? Possible to change the seat base studs for longer ones?

What was your solution to this?

Dual swivel slider seat base from Alpine Camper Design. They fitted it for me, but it was pretty simple. Used a couple of flat plate packers or shims on the seat base bolts to clear the floor. It works great, and the rear floor roller runs adjacent to my Fabworx rear bench rails by about 1mm clearance - perfect!

Something that is missing is the ability to lock the seat slider in the rotated position. If the van isn’t level the seat is very willing to roll back into the living area. It’s a bit annoying. They should have welded an extra nut at the front of the base to drop one of the bolts into to stop it from sliding back when you’ve rotated it.

A nice touch is there are no release bolts inside the seat base so storage isn’t impacted.

However, the double seat is rather high now and the seat back is more upright. So really I need the vancraft folding seat back bracket, and possibly a lowered seat base to regain headroom.

Standard campervan job… completing one project spawns two other, more expensive, jobs!
