I'd like to fit some headrests to my seats to help stop my neck snapping in the event of a crash!

I've got the early black vinyl seats as seen here

Based on previous advice i felt around the top and there does seem to be some holes under the vinyl where the headrrst would go. How easy is it to fit and what would I need? Headrest wise i'd try to source some of the simple, early vinyl ones a bit mike these on ebay of the come in black too

I too am looking for some headrests, as I have lovley brown vinyl seats! The holes are roughly 26cm apart, which seems quite wide compared to cars? You will need some slider-y things, which go into the holes, allowing the pins of the headrest to be supported, not sure where to find these but if you find some please let me know! Also, have you considered different head rests? A lot looked a bit like that in the 80's/ early 90's.. not sure what would fit, but might work out a fair bit cheaper than genuine T25 one which all seem a bit tatty off ebay!
