Replacement head rests and new type of belt guide.

Hi,
I have never liked the original formula head rests so I made new ones from a 2000 Buick. The Buick headrests have dual pins. I cut them off and fabricated a single mount like the Formula.

I put new leather covers on and forgot to mark the position of the seat belt guides holes so I decided to change them to something simple. I used an old leather belt, cut two slots in them, dyed them and slipped them under the single post.

Just thought I would share info.

Louis
