if it has to be those. idk... but if it just needs to look like those... try corbeau gts ii

The halo headrests are sold by 50resto.com now I think...
They don't have the netting... they can be found in Escorts if I remember.

robertdeuce · Sep 27, 2011

Good luck, I cant even find the fishnet halos, RARE Bread of a seat. You might look on FEP, some of the guy over there come across them now and again.

robertdeuce · Sep 28, 2011

rare is an understatement. honestly im not sure if i wanna pay what im willing to pay for these seats.

darthcual · Sep 28, 2011

Saw some in a bone yard a few years back in a vert 5.0. They were tan leather if i remember right. Didnt know how rare they were or i woulda snagged them then.

TMIproducts · Sep 28, 2011

CJ Pony or 5.0 Resto would be able to order these for you as well. These are simply new foams and upholstery that fit on the standard 26" high Mustang GT seats.
We can do them in any color scheme.

robertdeuce · Sep 28, 2011

order them from where? only thing that i've seen in production from recaro similar is the recaro specialist m. so your saying i can make my original gt seats look like the fishnet recaros? where do i sign? can you send me a link to the for the foam that your referring to.
thanks

The corbeau gts ii look very similar. If you found some 85-86 GT halos you might be able to take them to an upholstery shop with a picture of the fish nets and see what they can do. It may be easier to hybrid the seats than to find originals.

The current Recaro Specialist seat is as close as you are going to get to that seat by Recaro. The net
headrest was available as an option on all of their seats for several years after it was included in the Mustang beginning with the 79 Pace Car model. I have one of those seats which was reupholstered in black with the net headrest that I converted to an office chair. You may try calling some of the US dealers for Recaro (from the Recaro Web site) and ask if they have any of the net HR left. Slim chance I know, but worth a shot. I would think these older HR will fit the newer seats as well.

robertdeuce · Sep 29, 2011

im thinking about building a pair of recaro headrest seats from the setas i have in there now. rip off the foam, use the frame, grab some thick foam and start shaping then get them upholstered... has anyone built seats from a bare frame before?

skunk21 · Sep 29, 2011

If you want recaros has already noted the current specialist will work but you are going to have to find the headrests that you want.

recaro>corbeau

robertdeuce · Sep 29, 2011

where can i buy plain thick pieces of foam so to mold a seat design? what about a memory mattress foam? is car seat foam different?

stykthyn · Sep 29, 2011

I think memory mattress foam would cause issues with the upholstery....just speculating here.

robertdeuce · Sep 29, 2011

what about regular 6 inch mattress foam?

skunk21 · Sep 29, 2011

check out a local shop or look online, the seat foam can be found, there are a few custom shops in my area. I know they use different density foams and glue them together and use an electric knife or something like it to get the general shape then work it from there with other tools to get the shape. mattress foams are not correct.

You can find pretty close on ebay pretty often.
Some early trans am's were close, i believe the 79 mustang pace car had them too.
Going to have to recover whatever you buy.

Consider getting flow fits then some netted headrests.
They also go pretty well in a fox.

I need some help finding these!!!
