Can I get my seats to swivel
Discussion
Agreed earlier this week to buy a Swift Lifestyle 686, only eight months old and 4,000 miles and I think I got a good deal.
Anyway, on to the question. This has the six travelling seats option and the driver and front passenger seats don't swivel because there's high back pax seats behind them, whereas on other models which only have side facing seats behind them they do. Spoke to the dealer I'm buying it from and he says the swivelling seats option isn't available on this model. Now I fully accept that the seats won't go all the way round to face rear, but I'm sure that with a bit of jiggery pokery messing around, they'd go a bit of the way round and that'd make getting in and out of the rear from the front seats easier.
Anyone know if the mechanism is available to buy? Or could I buy two replacement seats? Or modify it in some way?
Any pointers would be helpful

Assuming it's based on a Fiat chassis, would this do it?

Brilliant Mark, absobluddylutelybrilliant. That's it exactly 
Phoned them, chappie told me which one he recommends and I've now got somewhere to go in my new MH next week to try it out. Not overly expensive either, £116 each but not sure if that's inc or exc VAT, not that it matters.
Thanks Mark, you're a star.
