VW Transporter Sportscraft Swivel Base Installation
This Volkswagen Transporter just received a serious comfort upgrade with a VW Transporter Sportscraft swivel base retrofit — and not just any base, but a German-engineered Sportscraft unit. Known for its solid build and minimal rocking, this single-seat swivel base delivers both stability and ease of use inside the van. Paired with a freshly installed handbrake cover and recalibrated cable, this setup is now smooth, safe, and ready to rotate. 🔧🚐⚙️
Ever tried to spin your driver seat in a van and felt like you were cranking a stubborn gear? Not anymore. This seat now glides into position effortlessly, letting the owner move around the cabin with ease. Whether you’re working from your van, lounging at a campsite, or just organizing gear, having a secure and easy-to-rotate seat makes a big difference.
What We Did
This VW Transporter came in for a focused upgrade with a high-end swivel base installation. We fitted a Sportscraft single-seat swivel base with a precise alignment to the factory seat rails, ensuring minimal lateral movement and reliable long-term performance.

Why This Retrofit Matters
The Sportscraft swivel base isn’t just about convenience — it’s a quality-of-life upgrade. With a rigid yet lightweight construction, the base keeps the seat stable even when turning, unlike cheaper models that develop wobble or flex over time. That’s a big deal if you’re spending serious time in your van, whether for leisure or work.
We also take care of the finer details, like ensuring the handbrake clears the rotation path. That’s why we fitted a new cover and adjusted the cable — because in retrofitting, details make all the difference.
Why It Needs a Professional Touch
Fitting a swivel base might look simple on paper, but in practice it involves precision alignment, seatbelt anchorage checks, and often handbrake relocation or adjustment. We’ve refined this process to ensure both comfort and safety. It’s one of many vag retrofits we offer — always integrating parts the right way, with no shortcuts.
