The topic of head restraints for 65/66 models was discussed at length last
week and a set of good restraints only, with no hardware, sold on ebay for
$350 yesterday after the bidding exceeded the reserve by $200.

Clearly these items are in huge demand.  I've watched auctions for these for
4 years now and observed that wrecked and grotty seats sell for hundreds of
Dollars.  What is there to a head restraint? - nothing much - a piece of
flat steal bar, chrome plated, 2 holes, a bit of a frame with some foam
rubber and a vinyl cover, a chromed embellishment where the post fits into
the seat backrest and some hardware inside the seat to hold the post secure.
Should be reasonably easy to reproduce, surely?  I'd do it myself, but
there's just one problem;  I don't have a sample set.

So I've e-mailed Clarks and suggested they re-produced them.  The response
was positive and they will consider these in their next line of
re-productions.

So who wants a set?  I'll take a pair - anyone else?
