#1 headrests

Post by jonhall88 » Fri Dec 04, 2015 4:33 pm

Could someone please measure the breadth and width of the stem which fits into the channel in the seat or do you know for certain if MGB headrests are the sale stem ?
Thank you

Hi ..i have used mgb headreasts but you need to be aware that the main stem is not straight but has a slight curve, therefore it doesnt fit fully into the back of the straight slot, i cut mine down to slot them in

The originals are 32mm x 17mm - maybe 16.8 as I didn't have a vernier scale.
