Default Headrest..for roll bar hoop..

I noticed that Mark Thompson built a horizontal headrest for my car.
I did not see it in person, But I would buy one if someone had one put together..
That is a nice addition.



Here is his build link.
Headrest

Any info would be appreciated
Thanks,
Michael

I think it was built as a "whiplash protector in case of accident" and not a headrest. Just my observation, but unless the headrest is actually built-in as a part of the seat, I really don't think it would help in an accident.

That gap between the seat and roll bar is enormous.

sweet! thats exactly what i was looking for! I sit VERY far back in my cobra, so that will actually be very functional in the event its needed (if i lean back my head goes INSIDE the rollbar at the moment).
