<snip> > I noted the Vanagon owner's comment on the link you sent > that states you cannot get the battery out with the non-OEM swivel unit in > place <snip> The PO of my '85 Westy thought the seat had to be removed to access the battery. He didn't know to swivel the seat around to face backwards. Perhaps the new owner of the bolt on swivel mechanism was "in the same boat". The other comments .... like the lack of a battery cover shows that the purchaser's hadn't owned or closely examined a Westy to see how it should be done. I have no first hand knowledge of the bolt on swivel ..... just some thoughts. Mike '84 GL 7 pass '85 GL Westy |
