Rear Headrests

Wonder if anyone can help. I'm after a pair of rear headrests, preferably black vinyl/ambla. If all else fails, is there anyone near me in Kent that's got one that I can have a look at and measure, and get my friendly trimmer to copy. My eventual plan is to incorporate a pair of speakers inside the body of them and get rid of my 70's Pioneer shelf-mounts.
Any help much appreciated!

That is a good idea 8)

Why not make up some cardboard templates using the rear seat profile and get your trimmer do make them up from that. I was contemplating doing that before I managed to get a hold of some headrests. Should be fairly straightforward :)

Jim Brown (Ely Service) got a long way towards doing a run of these, I saw prototypes, complete with speakers, but I'm not sure what happened in the end.

I just sold some in-need-of-colouring buckskin rear headrests on eBay for £108. Only set I've had pass through my hands.

That part is easy enough, but I want them to look as original as possible so I'd like to measure widths, depth, height etc to get the overall shape just so :?

You can buy new reproductions - which I can't tell from the originals - from JRW.

Thanks for that, I didn't realise. I'll just check if I've got a spare arm and leg............... :wink:
 
The p5 ones are much larger.

Also if you look they seem to be handed to the drivers side?? Even in my car they are like that.

Ah, wasn't sure :) I think these were listed the other day for P5 and P6, thought they were listed differently and dearer as a trial, obviously they are no good for the P6 then :wink:
