Swap VW T4 Seats For Mazda RX8 Electric Heated Leather Swivel Base Seats

In this video I show how I swap the front seats of my VW T4 from standard seats to black leather electric heated Mazda RX8 seats on swivel base (See link below for seats & bases) for my VW T4 campervan conversion I cover each step in the process of removing my old VW T4 seats from the van, the seat from the base, grinding flat the runners on the Mazda RX8 seats, testing the electrics, creating new mounting points, making new extension mounting brackets, fitting a Fasp swivel base, installation back in the van and wiring the electrics. To ensure rigidity in the seats I ensure any extension brackets are all made from steel thicker than the actual seat base for safety. All of the electrics are wired in on their own dedicated circuit ran to a switched relay to ensure the seats cannot drain the battery if, for example the heated seat was left switched on. The relay ensures all power is cut to the seats once the keys are removed from the ignition. The same principal can be used to fit most seats that have flat runners to a VW or most other vans. Sometimes new bases need to be made depending on what seats are going in but usually most seats can be adapted to fit standard bases.
