Roll Bar Headrest Padding

[chris whitlow]

Where do people get the padding to tape onto their roll bar mounted headrests?

I've found this:- 

http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/seat-accessories/bsci-ener-core-ec50-foam-sheet

It looks like the real deal but at £78 for an 18"x36" sheet I can't help thinking there's something more cost effective available.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers,

Chris

Chris - I bought mine from CC - self adhesive pads about 10mm thick which you then cover.  That was quite a few years back mind you so I don;t know if they still do it.  It looks like their parts website is unavailable so can't see if they still stock it, but might be worth asking?

Chris,

I have a couple of layers of camping insulating mat like :-

Try people like Merlin Motorsport too.

I assumed it had to be the same as the roll bar padding i.e. High density, closed cell and fire resistant.

Is that not the case?

Chris,

ROPS padding is not mandatory for speed events.

From memory, the only stipulation hor the head restraint being that its 100mm square minimum.

Brilliant! I'll use any old foam then.

Thanks Richard
