I want to do something similar with the headrests - what actual headrest unit are you thinking of adapting to these seats. I have been looking around for a thin unit (to match the thin seats) but no luck as yet.
Nothing off the shelf. I was just going to make an upright from a couple of lengths of stainless rod and then weld on stainless plate for the head rest section. I'll then pad that wth foam and get it trimmed the same as the seat.

The mounts on the back of the seat will be a couple of sockets for the rods to go into. Probably retained with a couple of grub screws.

Cheers
