crude, but interesting..and it gives me an idea for a completely stock
looking job..  :<)

here goes:  if you were to take a pair of regular square door hinges (not the
wedge shaped strap hinges like you used)   tap out the pin, and enlarge the
holes to accept the headrest mount bars...and do this:
peel back that black cloth tape that covers your staples that holds your
seatback upholstry on...carefully pry out the staples..  pull back the upholstry
and foam from the plywood seatbacking..(just from the top edge-dont need to
remove the sides) ...then drill and mount the hinge sections INSIDE the seatback,
between the foam and plywood.  cut little holes for the headrest  mount bars
to stick thru..and recover/staple upholstry back down...
viola!   no ugly hinges to be seen!

anyway..if anyone is interested in doing this rear headrest coversion to
their westy and needs some headrests...i have a bunch for sale..
grey, tan, blue or brown..  let me know..
