headrests

Post by denis9 »

Quick question, can anybody tell me whether front and back headrests are interchangeable?

Cheers for that.

Unfortunately not fronts have a fairly straight stalks but rears have a long swan neck stalk, very different in appearance regards Graham

Thanks for that Graham. I thought that you would be the person that would know the answer to that question.

Since the Baur has rear headrest mounts, can it take headrests or do they need to be removed when the hood is folded?

No probs Denis, in fact the front stalks come out from the bottom of the rest but the rears actually come out of the back of the rest if you give me an email i can sen a pic of the rests together cheers Gra

Never tested, can't remember even seeing rear headrests in a Baur so it might be an issue indeed...

That's not necessary Graham thanks. From your explanation I can see totally what you mean.
