Tillett headrest support

[Dobson_justin]

For the speed championship I think I need a headrest support from the roll bar to support the back of the Tillett headrest. I have about 7-9cm gap currently.  Has anyone else done this and if so, how?

Thanks

Do a search on the CC website, this will give you an idea how it's done. it's easy to make something yourself.

Something like this: https://caterhamparts.co.uk/other/5471-head-restraint-to-metric-cages.html?search_query=head&results=185

That one's for metric FIA bar/cage.

I think I have what you need, do you have a Cage or FIA bar?

[Dobson_justin]

Thanks for your responses. Really helpful. 

Mark, I have a roll bar. Send me a message if you have the right thing. Thanks

I saw the head restraint on cc by the way, but cannot see how that works as the pic is rubbish. How does it attach to the roll bar?

[Shaun_E]

If you have the roll-bar with a double cross-brace, there should be 2 holes - one in each brace, just behind the headrest. A bracket is attached with bolts to those 2 holes and then the long threaded bar of the support goes through the bracket secured by a nut either side. Sorry, I can't find a decent picture to show it.

[Dobson_justin]

Thanks. I have a single diagonal bar, and no holes to attached this to, so need to find another solution.

[Shaun_E]

For the single diagonal bar, there was a 2 piece support - half of it is this: https://caterhamparts.co.uk/headrests/3521-steady-bracket-headrest-assembly-fia-de-dion.html?search_query=head+rest&results=13 and the other part had the plate on it a well as a similar "U" clamp but Caterham don't seem to list that anymore.

You'll have to put a wanted request out to see if anyone has one kicking around. I'll have a look and see if I've still got mine from years ago.

The other part looks like this:

Thanks Shaun

It should looking something like this when fitted.

I would also be interested in these parts too if anyone viewing this thread has 2nd hand spares going.

I've got a complete headrest support (supplied with a 2003 R300 that had a single diagonal FIA bar).  It's never been fitted but it's been hanging in the garage roof for 14 years so may need a clean!  PM me if you'd like it - pretty sure it won't fit my 420R so useless to me.

Cheers
