<VV> 66 Corvair headrests

[Bruce Tester]

I found photos of original 66 seats and headrests on Corvair Central Forum.  I also found reproduction 66/67 Corvette headrests that look similar and the hardware installation kits.  Does this installation hardware look similar to the hardware installed in 66 Corvair headrest seats?
