John Daniele
() Date: February 24, 2005 08:28PM I am researching a kit to repro 1966 factory headrest just out of curiosity how many would be interested in such a kit the price I think would be around 350$ complete exec the vinyl covering and what ever clarks charges for the cover. Note I am not making the kits and am just doing some research for my own car but it could benifit others. Regards JD By the way I am new to the group here but I have been inand out of corvairs since 78 I currently have a 66 coupe Re: 1966 factory Headrest Posted by:

() Date: February 24, 2005 09:05PM It would be a complete kit to install headrest in a regular bucket seat. JD Attachments: ![]() Re: 1966 factory Headrest Posted by:

() Date: February 24, 2005 09:33PM I'd be interested in such a setup, though not at $350.00USD. Heck, not even at $350CAN. Re: 1966 factory Headrest Posted by:

() Date: February 24, 2005 09:41PM What makes this set up so expensive? Is it the chrome bar? ggg Harry This is a pic of Kent S. seabring corvair seats Attachments: ![]() Re: 1966 factory Headrest Posted by:

() Date: February 25, 2005 01:38AM Not to be a naysayer, knowing that a headrest on a pre 68 GM anything is a bit rare wouldent the hardware from any GM that uses that style of seat work? Re: 1966 factory Headrest Posted by:

() Date: February 25, 2005 05:35AM I'd love to have a set for my 66 Coupe, but 350 is too steep for me. This is a low budget project. Re: 1966 factory Headrest Posted by:

() Date: February 25, 2005 06:00AM I think 350 is a fair price for the factory look I know i cant make a set like this at home. And if I could the time it would take would be better spent doing my regular job to get the extra money to buy the set. I also found a guy on the net who repros the old empi headrest there 150 bucks a set. Like I said I am not selling them nor do I have any interest in the company but I think with some small mods they can be factory correct repros of a much sought after option and if the guy would see some interest maybe he would lower the price I dont know. I am just testing the waters. Regards JD Re: 1966 factory Headrest Posted by:

() Date: February 27, 2005 01:54PM Wouldn't it be cheaper to swap the parts from say a '69-'70 Nova with bench seats? I had saved the headrests from one but lost the parts when my mom moved last year. I think you could get an entire bench seat with headrests from that era for a lot less than $350.

() Date: February 27, 2005 02:04PM Are nova bench seats using the same part. the idea is to make them look like factory 66 bucket seats w headrest option. JD Re: 1966 factory Headrest Posted by:

() Date: February 28, 2005 05:37AM Seeing that 1966 headrest seats average about $600/pr and 1967 headrest seats even more... while "standard" seats from each year are almost giveaways, I think that $350 is not an unreasonable price. BTW, the headrests look better than they perform...actually pretty uncomfortable... especially if you're tall. Bill Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum. |
