Anyone got stock seats with head rests?

I'm sure i've seen them on a bus before or have I dreamt this?

I once had a Late Bay ('79 moonraker) which had front seats with built in head rests, not sure i've seen 'em on an early bay.
 
Dave,

You could get slip on head rests but very hard to come by.
Follow the link and you will get an idea.

I too would like a matching pair but either tricky to get hold of.

PS seen pics of the head rests in red to match your interior but you will have a better chance of winning the lottery me thinks than getting a pair.

I seem to remember that the White Devon had at least one red headrest. Don't know who now owns it but PM Clem as he is organising the line up at Volksworld and this shall be there.

Get the owners name and ask for some pics .

PS good luck with the challange as they would really go well with your interior.
 
I have some pics of Matts red slip-on (red) headrests at home, ill post them later. :)
 
With most of the peeps on here being mega cool at welding, would have thought it to be easy to make your own - then sell them on here - can see
some major orders being made :wink:

cheers dude

does anyone still make these or where they a vw product?
 
They were a vw product. Mine have a volkswagen label on the back.

I think mine were initially sold for a type 3 but still fitted the bay. The issue was the catch on the passenger seat where it attached to the bulk head. Luckily there is a little zip in the vinyl so we didn't have to cut one!

I will post pics when i go and take some!

This middle seat is out of Swedish '74 late bay. I have front seats out of it, and they have the same head rests.

The late bay ones in the pic are different and fixed to the seat similar to modern cars. ( well they look like it to me )
 
On ebay from a '78 bay

We got ours a couple of years ago from VZi. I think i paid £25 as one needs repairing (the stitching has come undone)

On the back they have a label that says 'supplied by volkswagen GB limited'

Either need to get black covers for the seats or cover the headrests in cream!
