I sold my '90 Multivan to a friend who is 6'5". It didn't have a swivel
seat, but he did grind two more slots in the tracks so the seat could slide
an additional distance to the rear, which gave him more leg room.

Subject: Removing Driver Side Swivel

Hi All,

    I have been thinking of removing the swivel plate under the drivers seat
of my '84 Westy. I never swivel the drivers seat, and at 6'4", I could use a
little extra room. I sit so high I can't read the display on my radio, and
my legs hit the steering wheel getting in and out-how much lower does the
seat sit with the swivel removed? I read a little about this in the
archives, but would like to hear from other tall Westy owners who've done
this-was it worth it?  Thanks,   Jeff
