    Recaro sport seats, early or later?

    The previous owner of my 911 fitted a pair of additional seats, Recaro sports seats without headrests. These seats looks to have been redone in genuine leather. I'm not a seats expert and, as now I would like to have sport seats with headrests, I wonder if these seats are the early 67/68 edition without headrests or a later model with arrangement for the headrests (maybe deleted during reupholstering).
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks!

    hi lorenzo, you can certainly retrofit headrests - the mounts will be there. it depends on your personal taste if you do it. what year is your car? I date the year of your brackets to 1970 or 1971. I hope I could help. regards uwe
