Hello everybody...
Has anyone ever tried to build rotatable consoles under the front seats?
I would like to turn the front seats, the center console with DVD player and so on, I would throw out. But I have no idea if you can turn the electric seats and if it would fit with the steering wheel when turning the Seats ...
For ideas I would be grateful.

2006 GMC Savana Explorer Limited SE

Hello Joe,
yes, I have seen the Thread, but it is about the narrow seats from the Roadtrek. I have the captain chairs in the van and they are wider, so the question ...

Hello everybody
I have to ask again, before I buy the consoles ...
Is it even possible in an Explorer VAN from 2006 to turn the driver's seat? Or does the steering wheel prevent that?

 

update:
a lot of time has passed, at least I've already finished the passenger side. I built the brackets myself out of steel and a rotating element from boat Stuff Dealer. I have everything here for the driver's side, I will also make the driver's seat turnable in the next few weeks, then post pictures here. The total cost for both sides is around $ 100.

 

pics of the base would be great

 

I didn't take more pictures.
The console has a 3" hole to lead the cables through, the corners of course still have to be rounded and everything will be painted black matt.
The two black rubber bases serve to support the seat when it is facing in the direction of travel, but these will be moved again, one on each Corner.

 

great design. it looks like the one you can buy...but...ive heard that the boat swivel cannt with stand an accident and will sheer ...have you heard of that....i want to make one too...

 

Hi,
of course the boat consoles are not as stable as those that are built for motorhomes. But I made the console as stable as possible and at a fraction of the price of normal consoles.
I will round off all the edges again at the weekend, then install a fixed screw connection so that you cannot turn the seat while driving. This screw connection alone will ensure sufficient safety in the event of an accident, I think.
