Now reality sets in. I used the driver seat swivel once or twice when I
first bought the vehicle back in 1989. Since the steeling wheel is in
the way I haven't been bother since. The best part is you have to
release the hand brake so the seat will clear it. I am surprised there
hasn't been liability law suits from someone's Westy rolled down the
hill using the driver side swivel.

This will never pass the legals in this day and age.

I use the passenger side all the time.

Hey all,
I wanted to ask this to the group since I have not yet installed my seat
swivels in the syncro conversion I am working (slaving) on.

How many of you use the front table and swivel the seats to use that
area as shown on the vw literature?

Some folks tell me they only swivel the pass seat and use it for storage
while camping.

Another idea I heard recently is to have a board on the armrests of the
pass seat to create a "shelf" for even MORE stuff .

Doug
