My solution was to put a bit of roll cage padding on the top of the B pillar so that you can't hit them. You still feel it when you hit, but nowhere near the pain from hitting the unprotected B pillar, or worse, the bolt.

Details here:
Alasdair, the MY16 Keswick 110

Another great idea many thanks

I'll have to check my defer out, cannot say that I have ever hit my head on them when off roading........either while driving or being passenger

Yep, bloody painful, I've often wondered if anyone has been killed by a belt to the temple from the seat belt bolt.

I was going to use some polystyrene foam, but it's a once use only proposition.

Just came back from wreckers with 3 samples of caps but they are not wide enough to fit

I think I must be too short (5’7”) for this to be an issue in the 40+ years I have been driving series/Defenders. Never come close to whacking my head.

Have a look in the RPS for the perentie and you’ll get the Land Rover part number.

Sorry but what is RPS, excuse my ignorance.

Oh Repair Parts Scale.....the army has one for each vehicle.

Just thinking might have to go over REMLR to find the online copy.

Or maybe frontline who are auctioning the perentie.
