I have had trouble getting any advice on installing a seat swivel plate for my from passanger captins chair. The closest I have found is that GTRV in Sabastapool CA does them but wants $700. I have access to a shop with metal working tools and would love to do it my self. They claim the use a Ford swivel and modify it to work in the Sienna. Anyone know anything else and/or where I can get a Ford Swivel plate? Thanks!!!!

Junkyards are a great source.


When Chris Farley talked about living in a van down by the river, did anybody else think that wasn't such a bad idea?

Welcome to he site Gareth...

Keep your current seat, remove the seat pedestal, get a swivel.

All you will need is a 1/4 alum plate 11 X 14 to go on top of the swivel....which allows you to bolt up the seat rails and the swivel pedestal platter...

I would look at ones for a Chevy as they , Chevy and Toyota, are basically the same company any more. . . . so sizing MIGHT be closer and require less mods. Frscke1 has about the best way to mod one to fit.

Hmmmn, Chevrolet and Toyota are one company. . . . ? Does that make a Chevota or a Toyolet ? rofl worms rofl

Boy I am gonna PAY for that one ! lol Bring it ! devil devil devil

Thanks the GM/Chevys do look a lot better than the Ford. Especially since several have only a 2 inch rise rather then a 6 inch rise, which I do not think will work. On this page;

Can you tell me which one would work best in your opinion for a Toyota Sienna just like this one?

Only if you own a Prizm.....

All Prizm models were powered by the same engine as the Toyota models, All Prizms were built at a joint venture plant between Toyota and GM. Aside from small cosmetic differences , radio, front stabilizer bar, the Prizms are identical to the Corolla.
