There is next to no substantial structure to support the headrest, especial=
ly in a collision situation. The seat backs are, well you know how strong =
they are. Lets just say, flimsy. Maybe a properly constructed and mounted =
roll bar with a head rest pad would be more appropriate.=20
This has its own issues, good and bad, in an accident.=20

I=E2=80=99ve another question: Has anyone installed headrests in the Healey=

=C2=A0=C2=A0 Is there a kit suitable for adding headrests to Healey seats?.=
... I=E2=80=99m 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:
https://www.npdlink.com/product/bracket-accessory-sport-seat-headrest-to-fi=
t-on/105113/200167
My thoughts involve welding captured nuts into the existing metal seat back=
frame.=C2=A0 Then fabricating a bracket assembly that can be mounted to th=
e seat back into the captured nuts=E2=80=A6.and have the whole headrest att=
achment something that can be added/removed as the mood fits the situation=
=E2=80=A6
Anyone else have other ideas?....better ideas?.... actual experience?
Thanks
