headrest questions

[runningman]

For all of you with headrest buckets on a 2nd gen, I have a couple of questions. I have a new repro set of headrests and  I am having someone make the hardware pieces I need out of plastic(nylon), the parts that go into the seat frames.  I have some old broken parts so we kind of have an idea of what to do.  Not sure where that small spring metal piece mounted to inside the frame, it is the part that hooks into the indentation on the rails.  Anyone know the height of the headrest when it's locked into that position?  Are they supposed to be adjustable or are you supposed to just leave them in that spot?  thanks  matt

The metal spring holds the headrest in different positions by locking in the indents like you mentioned. I am going off memory and don't have any pictures but, there should be a spot to mount the clips to on the frame.

The bench seat cars had a different type of metal locking piece and the headrest posts were staggered but, the same principle applied.

Perfect, that is what I needed to see.  A couple more questions, the aftermarket headrest only has one indentation in it.  Do the others have multiple?  Also does the post bottom out on the bottom plastic bushing pieces or can it travel all the way down into the seat frame?  thanks alot!  matt

The originals only have one indentation on each post & the post bottoms out on the lower plastic thing. The 2 plastic things in the top left hand corner of the pic havent got holes going through them like the 2 to the right.
