    Defender 130 rear seat headrests - which models have them?

    HI all

    My 1998 Defender 130 rear seats do not have head rests. This now a problem as my oldest son has just moved into a booster seat and now has zero head protection and cracked his head on the rear window frame when I accelerated (yes my Defender does actually accerlate!)

    Can I fit a newer style seat (TD5 or Puma) with headrests to my 1998 Defender?


    Thanks
    Andrew

    I hardly ever carry non-dog rear passengers and would be interested in some front seats with headrests...
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Hi Ranga

    My boys are aged 7 & 9 and my 7 seven year old finds it difficult to fall asleep in the rear seat, so I always makes sure he has a pillow.

    I am still planning on fabricating something on the existing seat frame - just welding on a head rest of some type.

    Hi Andrew,
    I'm wondering what would be involved in adding 2 holes on each side to take a conventional removable front headrest?
