Thanks to everyone for the suggestions on buying parts at a discount.   

 

I've another question: Has anyone installed headrests in the Healey 3000?.
I've a BJ8, my wife would like headrests.    Is there a kit suitable for
adding headrests to Healey seats?.... I'm tempted by this arrangement:

using guide tubes such as used in this video:

and perhaps using this bracket (or similar home-brew) to establish strength
for the bottom of the headrests:

-on/105113/200167

 

 

My thoughts involve welding captured nuts into the existing metal seat back
frame.  Then fabricating a bracket assembly that can be mounted to the seat
back into the captured nuts..and have the whole headrest attachment
something that can be added/removed as the mood fits the situation.

 

Anyone else have other ideas?....better ideas?.... actual experience?

 

Thanks
