Subject:Swivel seat problem Driver's side
From:Hans Brouwer
Date:Sun, 4 Jul 1999 13:17:44 -0700

Hi,

The steering wheel is in the way when I swivel the driver's side seat. Due to
not being able to move the seat forward enough towards the passenger side, I
have to force the door slightly against the back of the seat. In this set up, I
have the back rest in its most upright position and the seat as far back as
possible. Any other set up puts the back rest outside the frame.

Is this normal?

In the 90 degree position, there is a 3 inch space between the arm rest and the
kitchen cabinet. Short of moving the swivel base to the back a couple of inches,
this would involve a welding job, how can I change the set up so that it swivels
properly?

Thank you in advance for your response.
