Tim;

Whats the item number on those? I did a quick check and didn't see them, so until I see them, I have no opinion...

I have successfully installed 140 headrests (with the two posts) into my 122 for the same reason that you're concerned. It does require stripping the covering of the seatback frame and having two tubes welded onto the frame to accept the tubes of the headrests...yes, its a bit of a job, but if you are commited to the car it's highly advisable.

There is one other solution...there exist aftermarket headrests with a (downward opening C shaped holding frame) which slipps over front and back of the seatback...its not nearly as neat of an installation, but it doesn't require ripping the seatback apart either. I don't have any source or manuf. info handy, but if interested, I could do some digging, or maybe someone reading this will chime in with info...

Cheers
