Descripción
This swivel is designed for an EU Driver seat in a Ford Transit Mk 8 V363 (2014 - present). It is also compatible with the Ford Transit Custom 1st Gen V362 (2013-2023) and the Ford Tourneo Custom, and can be used alongside a fixed or a swivelling double passenger seat. All necessary bolts required for fitting are provided.
Don’t skip the details — read through the fitting notes below, as well as the compatibility and technical information sections to ensure this swivel fits your van!
Notes on Fitting —
RIB advises that a handbrake modification is required to fit this swivel; the necessary bracket is included. When fitting this, note that some vans have the original bolts welded in. If yours does, they’ll need to be cut and drilled out. Additionally, the metal bracket that secures the handbrake gaiter to the floor must be removed. Because the handbrake cable runs through this bracket, you’ll need to either cut the bracket or detach the cable to complete the installation.
RIB also recommend relocating the battery. Please note, we have received customer feedback suggesting that lowering the battery slightly may be a workable alternative. While we haven’t tested this ourselves, it may be worth considering. The battery sits in a plastic box supported by square plastic blocks, and trimming these blocks can lower the battery by about 2–3 cm, which may provide enough clearance for the swivel to fit. If you try this approach, we’d love to hear how it works for you.
Lastly, this swivel installs between the seat sliders and the original seat base. If necessary, the rear outer corners of the slider rails can be trimmed to prevent interference with the plastic door trim during rotation.

How To Rotate The RIB Swivel
- To rotate the seat, the engine must be turned off, vehicle put in gear and the handbrake released temporarily.
- If your seat has height adjustment, you may need to raise it slightly before rotation to avoid it catching on anything.
- If you have a plastic handbrake cover then you may have to remove it and replace with our fabric slip-on cover.
- Once the seat is facing the rear, re-engage handbrake.
