The R&J Drivers Swivel Seat Mechanism is an absolute thing of beauty. Honestly, its so smooth and well finished, I'm not even worried about getting my fingers trapped in it at some point in the future. In this video, you'll see me install this mechanism so you can come best prepared when installing your own.
This series has now moved to the new Matt's Van Channel!

My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 23 year old Woodworker from Basingstoke in England and my aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years tuition at Rycotewood Furniture Centre with a further 1 year working as an Artist in Residence at the Sylva Foundation. I now teach City and Guilds Furniture Making at Rycotewood as of September 2018.
I also had 5 years of experience working at Axminster Tools and Machinery where I helped customers with purchasing tools, demonstrated in stores and events, and gained extensive knowledge about a variety of tools and brands.
During the week, I film woodworking projects, tutorials, reviews and a viewer favourite 'Tool Duel' where I compare two competitive manufacturers tools against one another to find out which is best.
I like to have a laugh and my videos are quite fast paced BUT you will learn a lot, I assure you.
Lets go make a mess.

Due to the popularity of this Van Conversion series, I am relocating it to a dedicated Van Conversion Channel!

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

Matt, everytime you're not sure about brakes just wedge at least one tire with a piece of wood. The general issue with swivelling driver seats is that in a van it changes its function and somebody sitting on it may mess around with the hand brake lever.

@saramulry Год назад

Now you finally know what it’s like for us smol folks who have to seat in seats with our feet dangling!

@SJ80s Год назад

Hi Matt I made a comment on your double seat swivel about locking the seat in reversed position for security , I'm sorry it should have been this video.

@ejmanx87 Год назад

The tool you should search for to “correctly” remove the connector pins is “terminal removal tool” probably best to get a kit (not all pins are the same size, thus a need for individual extractors)

@gcranston83 Год назад

E-torx = external torx. It's just reversed from standard torx with the male end on the fastener and the female end on the socket.

@tom314 Год назад

As a suggestion, if leaving the van for a long time not moving, chock the wheels, leave it in gear and the handbrake off, it's fairly common on vehicles for handbrakes to rust on which can require a big hammer and a jack to solve.

@jackhartley2972

Hi pal, nice videos. I don't know about others but I'd actually particularly appreciate their day-to-day use, to decide whether or not to get them! Like, one of the reasons I thought of doing it was it might make it easier to get from the cab to the van. Does it??

Those yellow connectors are seat occupancy sensors for the airbags. Those particular ones seems to be Mercedes’ own thing, but likely manufactured by somebody like ACDelco as OEM for Mercs. As a word of caution, disconnect the battery before messing with any yellow connectors. SRS electronics doesn’t appreciate things being unplugged while powered up and can throw nasty codes that would spell a visit to a dealer to clear.

@bigniqqa4511 Год назад

for anyone wondering, the e14 bit he used is an inverted torx bit

@UKRussellSmith Год назад

You can buy cable de pinning tools cheap on eBay. Also a bit of thread lock probably wouldn't go a miss on the seats and handbrake bolts.

Hey Matt,

@lowstringc Год назад

I’m sure you’ll get to this point, but right at the start when you had trouble with that plastic seat-bottom trim I decided that I’d have trimmed that trim right off. Who wants to have to raise and lower the seat every time you want to swivel it? (Certainly not lazy me…)

@andreas4175 Год назад

Don't you need to put tension on the handbreak cable again, now that the handbreak has been lowered and effectively shortened the length to the break in the back?

@Stu_2112 Год назад

A bit strong on the false jeopardy there Matt. The little flap on the connector is a TPA - Terminal Position Assurance, found on most automotive connectors. A set of general connector terminal removal tools will usually have something useful for removing each terminal type.

"it's nice to have the extra couple of inches"..... (just gonna leave this here....)
