Roll Bar Head restraint

[FireSale]

Please read the rule book before spending money on a home build solution to a safety thing. Accepted poly seats are something like $40.

EDIT: You need approved padding on any metal that contacts your helmet in a driving position.

Whats a "poly seat" ? I have built my own stocker before and passed tech. Thanks

[impstocker]

OK, poly seat meaning racing seat. I personally like the look of my "stock" bucket seats in my "stock eliminator"car, but I can understand why people will use poly seats.

The stock buckets in my 68 Mustang stop at the shoulder and would never pass any safety inspection. If you can build an acceptable head restraint then go for it. You've got more skill than I do, or at least you trust your skill more than I do. Aluminum racing seats are nice, but the polyurethane molded ones were the only seats in my budget.

It sounds like he is simply going to fabricate a stop attached to his hoop like ours.

That makes sense. When the OP mentioned Home Depot, I was thinking something less polished.

What do you have covering your rear seat close off? Is it fireproof?

There is aluminum plate under the carpet.
