Don ,you can split a piece of tubing the long way to make a half clamshell, weld your flat stock to it top and bottom to form an "I " shaped piece ,and use aircraft clamps to attach it to the top of the rollbar and the crossbar.

If I use the Kirkey econo drag seat, it has a high back, do I still need to have a head rest? I used the repop A-100 seats in my Thunderbolt and the head rest made sense. But high back with head rest?

Tom N.....I would say you are all set with the High Backs. Because mine have no support above the shoulder, I figured it would be required.

Hey Tom G…….ironically I was working on a back support for a Kirkey seat yesterday and learned a trick by using a 1-3/8 .058 tube, 2 pieces of ½ .058 tubes (cut at 1-3/8) and mount them perpendicular to the tube, then split it. Makes a nice clamp for the cross bar and you have means of bolting them together.
