Van Life - Driver's Side Scopema Swivel Seat (Ford Transit Van)

Installing the Ford Transit's driver's side Scopema swivel seat is trickier than installing the passenger side swivel seat. Based on our research we found these links useful:

Far out ride has been an indispensable resource so far for our build. Here is their article on the driver's side swivel seats. https://faroutride.com/driver-swivel-...
They had instructions for installing the swivel seat but it differed a bit from our installation. They installed a different swivel seat so we looked for some video guidance on YT.

We found these two videos that were extremely helpful and realized it would be pretty easy.
   • Campervan Luna - Drivers Seat Swivel ...  
   • Episode 9; Installing Scopema Seat Sw...  

Here we provide step by step instructions on how to install a driver's side Scopema swivel seat in your Ford Transit. This includes lowering the emergency handbrake, re-routing the airbag sensor wire and trimming the plastic on the outside of the driver's seat. Ours is a 2019 350 High Roof Extended Ford Transit. If you have an earlier model, it may differ.

We purchased the seat here:

This seat added about 32 lbs to the van and these are the tools we used:

Angle grinder
Hack saw
Ratcheting Socket Wrench (AKA Ratchet)
Vehicle paint
7mm socket for airbag connector
TX40 bit for the Ford Factory seat bolts

Helpful but not essential:
Helper
Magnets
Hand vac or shop vac
Towel or drop cloth to catch metal dust
A positive attitude. Some form of caffeine usually helps attain this....lol. 😳
