Comments on the clue
1.Valid alternative spelling for CASTOR but anagrind "swivel" is unconvincing. (Swivelling?)
2.'which' seems superfluous in the wordplay; perhaps 'swivelling' would be a better anagrind, though not sure that this verb conveys mixture
3.Ingenious and original.
4.A clever & lit., but the grammar of the cryptic reading doesn't quite work for me
5.'Swivel' as the imperative doesn't quite fit grammatically – the anagram material is 'swivelled'. Otherwise very clever.
6.Really good clue and one of the best this week (and there are some good ones).
7.brave attempt does not quite work
