Help with fitting a Patriot lock

[Tiger Bear]

We've not long returned home with our first van, but I cannot fathom out just how to fit the Patriot bike lock I have bought.
It is my understanding I need to drill a hole in the baseplate, which is no problem; but just where.

The driver's seat does not rotate 180°, just as far as this...

Am I correct in thinking that I drill a hole in the baseplate about here?....

then push the mushroom bolt through the hole from beneath, and into the housing, thus?...

which will then prevent the seat from being twisted back around to a forward facing position?

Yes all correct. I fitted a 2" plate washer under mine also because the lock is for thicker brake disc.

Swivel seat security

Hi I have fitted my disklok to my van and my friend said why don’t I turn my swivel seat around and drill a hole in the runner and padlock it in the turned around position so they won’t be able to sit and drive if they go to steal It has anybody done this
