Thanks everyone for the suggestions. The =E2=80=9Cstrength in a =
crash=E2=80=9D issue is important to consider, however I am not =
interested in the headrest from that standpoint. My wife simply likes =
to rest her head when we are cruising around. The Miata solution is =
interesting, but I am leaning a bit more towards an adjustable headrest. =
The MGB seats might be ok, but I wonder about how the relatively thick =
seat backs of those seats work in the limited space of a Healey cockpit. =
=20
=20
For any of these =E2=80=9Cswap out the whole seat=E2=80=9D solutions, =
are there significant modifications required to the floor pan of the =
Healey? Or, can the swapped seats work on the original Healey seat =
rails? =20

Another option would be some late MGB seats. The headrest telescopes so =
they can be put down when the car is parked. I have a '77 that has a =
Victoria British seat cover set in it, and they are quite attractive. I =
also have a '77 parts car with very nicely redone original pattern =
seats. The issue, though, is because the car was T-boned the passenger =
side seat bottom frame is bent. Shipping could be expensive is you =
aren't close to southern PA.
