This was on my front porch when I got home from work today.
 

Don't call my friend a bass hole!!  
 
Funny, you're going to end up trying the darn thing before I get to.

I'm working on making a mold to fabricate ABS headrest plates. If anyone has an old, unused Profile aerobar, Bud and Greg sure could use the forearm rest plates (and foam pads) to made their headrests. I ran out of all that I could locate and Profile refuses to respond to me regarding buying a batch of the plates (they don't offer the plates by themselves). It will still likely be a few weeks at least before I can make the plates.
 
The headrest frame is made from 1/2" CPVC (flex hot water tubing). To finish the headrest, one can determine the length and angle needed from the top of the h.r. frame to where the headrest plate needs to be and cut a piece of cpvc (or whatever) and cut a 4mm bolt to the matching length to affix it. Or if one can locate a Profile aerobar, the aluminum clamps from it can be used and just clamp the thing onto the top of the frame.

Moving quickly! :^)  If the forearm support plates are plastic, it should be fine. Hope they aren't the metal ones. Look at the photos of the headrests at http://synthetictransport.com/railgun/ .  
 
The paint on the h.r. frame tends to make it stick in the support tubes so you might need a little bit of effort to extract the frame from the seat the first few times. You can cut the ends of the h.r. frame tubes to fit where you want, though there is normally enough stiction from the paint to hold the position you want.
 
I've been meaning to do a page on making headrests but haven't done it yet. You can use a hair dryer or heat gun to (carefully) bend the CPVC tubes if you want to curve them upward (as in one of the photos), as opposed to using a long post as in one of the others. You can grind the end of the CPVC post to get it to fit the shape of the crosspiece on the frame to make it more solid. Or you can get some CPVS fittings and a short length of CPVC tubing and make whatever shape you want. I have customers doing combinations of the above.
 
For a pretty cushy headrest you can go down to Target or such and pick up  a 2-pack of those microfiber pocket wax applicator pads in the auto section and slip one over the top of the headrest.

Are you talking about the seat stays? If so, it should just mount like a std carbon seat, though I prefer to use industrial Velcro between the seat and the tube mounts instead of the std rubber spacers.

Hmmm. Where have the RANS folk been getting their upper seat stay mounts for carbon seats? I couldn't find any info on the RANS site. Are they using Bacchetta mounts there? The ones I put RailGun seats on looked like the Bacchetta mounts.

You don't want the whole B carbon seat mount kit. The front mounts you have should work but the front B mounts won't with the way I built the rib. The RANS mount you have works better and should be stronger in this situation anyway.  Just need the two top seat stay brackets (and bolts separately). My daughter just bought a pair of those brackets from Jacquie for her husband's seat a couple of weeks ago.

Ok. Make sure there is a metal plate the tubes attach to on the underside of the seat and it needs to be mounted in the area near where the tailbox attachment flange starts.
