I actually thought our head rests and seat design/manufacture was world class:
* Pulse TIG Welded Aluminium Seat Frame
*
Zinc plated shear plates for seat mounting/sliders
*
Zinc plated shear plates with welded threaded inserts
* Fully Sprung Rubber Diaphragm/Trampoline Seat Base
* Headrest Frame is polished stainless tube with Pulse TIG welded stainless mount plates. Has adjustable height mounting.
* Headrest Pads are CNC cut timber with steel threaded inserts. Timber so the trimmer can staple into them. If worried about water or moisture they can be sealed with a coating.
* Seat/Headrest are computer designed and tested.
* Both Seat, Headrests and Sliders comply with latest ADR 3/03 & ADR 22/0.
Just keep in mind you need to meet the minimum height requirements for current ADR's. So that is why the head rest is egg shaped, it meets height requirements but still keep the seats looking like original seats.
Trimming wise you have two options:
* Trim the head rests as seen in the photo and then the trimming runs a leather cover piece over the rear to head the staples etc. Then get the polished stainless frames a final clean up and leave them exposed.
* We have nicely shaped molded plastic cover plates coming(prototypes have been made now) that cover the staples etc and also most of the stainless frame. Production car look. These will be supplied free of charge to all headrest customers.
And they are supplied standard with our PACE 427 Finishing Kit even with drivers side seat slider.
Our Kirkham product uses a fully compliant steel frame seat with the same headrest design as above.
So can someone please explain how these could be improved??? Or why they are poor quality? When we have visitors to the factory, we can't wait to show them off with all the other world class parts we produce for our kits.
