Rusty Lee swivel with Fogstar Drift 230 seat base?

[WillC]

Hopefully a quick Y/N response possible as this has to be a common question (which I can’t find an answer to on here!) but… will a Fogstar Drift 230Ahr seat base battery fit under a standard T6.1 passenger seat with a Rusty Lee swivel fitted? Would I need to remove the rubber flooring, earth bolt.. or does it just fit in beautifully?
And if it does, will I still have room for a Victron DC-DC box? I might put the fuses on the seat base back for access, though they might get kicked…
Cheers
Will

Thread 'Swivel Bases + Seatbase Batteries'

Evening all,

I’ve had a little break from my house build so thought I’d jump back into the van for a few days. I’ve mostly finished the cab electrics (special thanks to @Gosport_Jules ), so figured it was a good time to fit the Rusty Lee passenger swivel.





The problem I’ve got is my seat base battery sits slightly proud, and the rusty lee base protrudes a bit underneath via a plate and bolts. If I fitted the Rusty Lee upside down it would actually clear fine (but I’m guessing that’s a very bad idea for safety reasons!).

So I have a few...

Ah.. so that’s a no then?
I did find this thread but it seemed a bit inconclusive. What’s the outcome - it doesn’t work/need shims? Is the roamer version a tad lower?

No idea as wasn't my post. Sorry! Suggest you check in with the OP @Argent?
