Leadership L51

Leadership L53



The Leadership L53 transfer seat base has all the same features as the L51, except it only travels forward and back and swivels.


Model 041D (Driver)

This base is designed to mount over the OEM computer module located under the front seat. For GM applications, a 1” spacer may be required to fully clear the module box. Model 041 uses dual actuators for the up and down movement.

For Chevy full size vans, this base has special floor mounts that allow it to be installed onto the 4 OEM floor studs, with NO HOLES drilled in the floor! Due to the reduced height of the OEM Ford pedestal, it is not possible to utilize a “direct mount”.

Model 041D is available in both a standard and heavy-duty design. The standard is rated for 300 lbs total combined weight capacity. Model 041D-HD is rated at 500 lbs TCWC. Model 041 can be driven in any vertical position.


Leadership L71

The L71D (Driver) and L71P (Passenger) are our most versatile seat bases. They can be installed in many full size vans for both driver and passenger and selected non-lowered floor mini vans.

The redesigned L71D & P incorporates many of the features in our Leadership Series including being rated at 500 lbs. Note: Most late model, full size Ford and GM vans require Model 041D in the driver position because of the module under the driver seat.

Optional Upgrades: Models L71D and L71P can be configured with 180° Swivel,
Handheld Pendant and extended travel. In some applications, it may be necessary
to add riser tubes.

Note: Includes ½” spacers below the slide rails.


Leadership L73

The 073D (Driver) and 073P (Passenger) seat base can be installed in many full size vans for both driver and passenger. In addition Model 073 can be used in several non-lowered floor mini vans.

In some applications it is necessary to add riser tubes to clear the computer module.

Note: Includes ½” spacers below the slide rails.


Leadership LS71 Sprinter

2007-2010 Sprinter. The LS71 Sprinter is available for the driver position. This model consists of a redesigned (Shortened) pedestal and a 6 way transfer seat.

The LS71 Sprinter allows the electronics located inside the OEM pedestal to remain. It is designed to utilize the OEM pedestal mounting holes. It can be configured to lower the OEM seat height by up to 1.5".

The seat moves additional 3" rearward when raised due to the function of the scissor legs.


Leadership L75

The L75D (Driver) and L75P (Passenger) are designed for Chrysler / Dodge and Toyota minivans with rear entry and non lowered floors.

The front of the L75 mounts into the OEM seat floor mounting holes and in many cases the rear is anchored to the OEM bracket. Little, if any invasive drilling is required to install the L75. The L75 is designed to mount at a 6 degree angle which prevents it from intruding into the path of the center cut. The OEM seat is used with the L75 and in most applications, the seat height remains within ¾” of its original height. For non lowered floor vans the L75 offers numerous options.

The long horizontal travel allows the front seat (Driver or Passenger) to move back into the 2nd door area allowing entry and exit through the 2nd door. For these applications, the swivel can be made to turn out of the vehicle. And as a special benefit, the L75 is the only seat base that can be used in vans with Stow-n-Go seating!


Model 977

Model 977D and 977P can be used in applications that require a swivel only. It can be configured to swivel either right or left.
