A steal at 5 times the price! ?

 

They appear to be of the “eared” style that appeared in early February 1973, along with 12mm headrest supports. Assuming they’re 12mm, don’t try to fit them into the earlier 10mm seats — unless you’re changing the guides.

Are the earlier tube style all 10mm ? that was my assumption, otherwise I may have just done what you advise not to do !

I believe all the tube-style headrests (very late 1968 through January 1973) have 10 mm. headrest supports.

 

This is according to the 1970’s parts catalogue. The only reason I waffle a touch — i.e., “I believe…” — is because one of our very respected German members once mentioned that there was a slight mis-match between the changeover to the eared headrests and the changeover to the 12 mm. supports. If so, it wouldn’t be the first time that two new parts, planned to arrive at the same time, failed to arrive simultaneously! Stated differently, the parts catalogue sometimes represents an ideal or simple snapshot while “field conditions” were less orderly!

Perfect. So hopefully I didn't do any damage inserting my new headrest into the seat. Many thanks for the detailed information, very helpful.
