Decided to just make one on my own.

Still not finished and I might have to cut more off the bottom to allow for more adjustment up and down but from what I’ve seen and cant acquire, I think this will work just fine!

These pics show it just mocked together until I get the correct bolts I want which are button heads because the heads will be under the foam and I want them as flat as possible. The toilet bolts work just like I want but being brass I don’t want to chance them breaking but they were all I had to piece it together until tomorrow.

I have easy vertical and horizontal adjustment.

I made the plate from 0.90 aluminum which is rather stiff plus it’s mounted to the aluminum hoop.

The foam was twice this thickness and splitting it was a challenge but thanks to some redneck ingenuity, it came out pretty good.

Opinions please, good or bad! I need to know!

Got the button head bolts I needed today and installed the mounting plate to the hoop.

Glued the foam to the aluminum headrest backing plate and now we wait until sets up good before I finish sanding the foam to fit the backing plate.

After that, it’s time to mount it to the seat for a trial fit.

Headrest is mounted but final adjustment won’t happen until kart is back together. Total cost $4.50

Opinions please, positive or negative would really help.

Nicely done, but if you have an “off” and bounce up and come down on it, I see pain.

[Ace Rossi]

I don’t really like pain so if you could enlighten me on what would make it better I would appreciate it .

thanks
