I recommend you walk away from these. All parts seem to be well done. JMHO
It is pretty high, but I needed the chrome tubes. But I don't feel like spending that:icon_no: I've been spending money on my other hobby lately.

The file was a little short. So we modified it to make it the correct length.
Brackets are being made and a file was created for the part that goes in the brackets.

Bought some Ford Fairlane, Ranchero headrest hardware OEM in original boxes. Although I only need the threaded detent parts and not the brackets.

The four on the left were the first four to get chromed. Real chrome, thick. You can see the copper and nickel. They were too short. So I had someone make me adapters on a 3d printer. The one on the right was too short as well, but the mushroom is the perfect size. I had 8 chromed but they aren’t as thick as the first 4. Adapters are made for these as well. Thought I’d share this with you.
