I am looking to add headrests to my 1992 Plus 8. Does none have any recommendations on where to source these from. I need to match to my cream leather interior.
I have heard that they they can take some time to arrive, so in the meantime, any recommendations on where to buy the plugs that cover the holes for the headrests - I have lost one of mine.
Thanks,
David

Hi David, They are standard British Leyland items, made in 2 styles. MG Midget and MGB and also Triumph Spitfire and TR7 so try any MG specialist such as Moss. You will need to have them recovered to match your interior, the plugs should be available from the same sources. Hope this helps....

For plugs https://www.abingdonmgparts.co.uk/product/category/7/headrest-blank-plug%3A--various/bd36610a
And Rimmer Bros have all types of headrests.

Thanks all. So any headrest for an MG Midget, MGB, Triumph Spitfire or TR7 should fit?
Thanks.

Yes David but yours is likely to be the single post version, not as above. U.S. versions may differ possibly?

MOG Dave - I assume they were vinyl, then you got them reupholstered in leather?
Thanks.
