Stessful, time consuming, but untimatly worthwhile

There was been so many modifications required to get this to fit and work correctly. Locating lugs removed, seat rails shortened, handbrake surround adapted, handbrake assembly modifications, battery terminals cut down, 230vac power outlet removed/lost, seat trim removed/cut, battery cover cut/adapted, etc etc. It's very very snug. What I hoped would be a fairly easy and straightforward job, was not. So be prepared. But ultimately, it works, it does what I brought it for. So if your prepared to take your time and it will take quite some time, think everything through thoroughly, then you will be happy with the end result. Just don't bother with the instructions, they are no help whatsoever. All I will say is Good Luck. This is not a negative review, I cannot see how it could be made any differently or better, the product is good, it's just that this installation is problematic.

Well made, smooth operation

Fitting the spinner is easy. The kit includes the handbrake lowering bracket. Easy to fit but time consuming to remake/adjust the handbrake cover bracket and plastic cover. Looks good now fitted.

Brilliant seat swivel but lowering the handbrake is a bit tricky.

No instructions with the kit. Some instructions on Kiravan's website, which are partly in French! So, I read other peoples reviews and watched Kiravans' generic videos.
Fitting the swivel itself was fairly easy. I didn't need to lower the battery. Just needed to trim some of the plastic battery box lid.
I did need to remove the battery to lower the handbrake, though.
In the end, I did something similar to Simon in a previous review. I didn't use the lowering bracket. Removed the handbrake trims, brake cable, and took out the handbrake. Threw away the frame that used to support the handbrake trim. With the handbrake out of the van, I ground off the lower stud and the captive nut from the top rear fixing. One of the redundant studs from the removed handbrake trim bracket lined up with the top-rear hole in the handbrake. I made a large washer for the top front stud which fits through a large hole in the side of the seat frame.
In use, the seat is solid when in the forward position.
To swivel the seat, I need to pump the seat height right up and incline the seat-back as far forwards as it will go. Then adjust the steering wheel forwards. When pulling the red lever, the seat needs a good shove to start swivelling. With the fixed double passenger seat, I need to shuffle the slider back and forth a bit while rotating, so that the seat misses the steering wheel, passenger seat and door pillar. Then lower and recline the seat when facing the rear.
I did trim a bit from the rear ends of the seat runners, as they were just rubbing the door pocket, but in reality it's easier to swivel with the drivers door open, so that I can access the red lever and the seat slide release lever.
The end result was worth all the effort, though. It's great to have use of that seat when we're in the rear of the campervan.
I might trim an inch or so from the bottom of the plastic seat trim, so that I don't need to pump up the seat so much.
One thing to remember is that the seat & swivel frame will need to be removed, if I ever need to get access to the battery connections.
So, the seat is now about 30mm higher, the handbrake is about 70mm lower, and I need to make my left arm 100mm longer!
