Hi everyone,
Where might I get the blanking covers that go in the hole in the seat backrest where the headrest "stalk" goes?
Thanks

Hi You can get blanking plugs from www.mgocspares.co.uk. Part number BHA4985 at £1.55 each including VAT. I used them on my 2004 4/4 and found them to be the same as those fitted to the old MG's etc. Regards Gordon

Nigel I think, with the headrest position, so far away from the head, it makes little difference

Nigel My '76 has a bench seat - no head restraints. Cheers,

Graham, I didn't realise that they still had the bench seat in 1976. Do you also have Moseley Float On Air cushions? If so, do you know a source for them other than Little Halingbury?

Greetings Frank Frank, I have seen replacements from this guy but they were on a rebuilt Austin 7. I don't know if he does them for other marques: www.bryanpurves.co.uk regards, G

I think, with the headrest position, so far away from the head, it makes little difference Indeed on the most recent cars the head restraints are rather thin and set far back. When I had new seats made for my '05 4/4 by Shaun at Allon-White, I took his advice and stuck to the (less "fashionable"?) traditional style which are close enough and thick enough to be effective protection. I would feel very vulnerable without head restraints, perhaps because I spend some of my time with spinally injured patients...  Also I would be surprised if Morgan were legally  able to supply cars with ineffective head restraints - though it is up to you whether you remove them of course! Nigel
