WTB: Roundie vinyl headrest

[Martin Nobbs]

After one vinyl headrest for a 1973 02. 

 

Colour doesn't matter, it just needs to in the style of attached photo. 

 

Also need help with posting to Auckland, New Zealand.

Assuming, Martin, that the size of the metal supports you need is 10 mm. in diameter, these are the same basic headrests — I refer to them as the “tubular” style — used from 1969 until mid-1973.

 

Per the attached pages from the parts book (first two photos), RHD 2002’s used them up to VIN 1659274, which I’m guessing was manufactured in approximately January or February of 1973. The earliest examples of these tubular headrests, from 1969, through late 1971, might have a slightly different vinyl, but it is a difference that few would notice.

 

Regards,

 

Steve

Steve, thanks for the information I've always struggled to describe what type that are and yes they are 10mm in diameter. 

 

I'm always amazed at the information available on the site!

Boosting this post, to see if anyone can help with one “tubular” style headrest (used from 1969 until mid-1973).

 

The one catch is delivery is needed to Auckland, New Zealand.

 

Thanks

Hey Martin,

   I actually have 2 headrests.  One is in excellent condition the other has been restitched  and is a little ratty. The chrome on both is in excellent condition. I believe that they both came from the same car and are dark blue. 

They have 10mm shafts and are 460mm on center.

Hey Dan,

These will be perfect, and most importantly will be a matching pair. 

Can you please DM me with what you are after for these and I can send you shipping details, PayPal, etc. 

Cheers,

Martin
