Product Information
Full details
The Kirkey Additional Head Support (Right Hand) is designed for drivers using non-containment Kirkey seats, offering enhanced head and neck safety, particularly during aggressive cornering or side impacts. While it significantly increases safety by reducing the risk of head and neck injuries, users should be aware that it requires proper installation and is an *additional* component, not a replacement for a properly fitted seat.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Kirkey Additional Head Support?
The primary benefit is increased safety by providing enhanced side support to the head, reducing the risk of head and neck injuries during cornering and side impacts.
Can this head support be installed on any racing seat?
No, this head support is specifically designed to be mounted on Kirkey non-containment aluminum seats only.
Are the black vinyl covers included with the head support?
No, the optional black vinyl covers are available for purchase separately.
What material is the head support made from?
The head support is constructed from the same grade aluminum as Kirkey seats and features an impact-absorbing foam pad.
How does this support improve safety in a side impact?
It provides additional lateral support to the head, helping to absorb impact forces and reduce the severity of potential head and neck injuries.
Can I adjust the position of the head support?
The support can be mounted to achieve optimal positioning relative to the driver's head, though precise adjustability may vary based on the specific seat model and mounting hardware.
Is installation difficult?
The head support is designed for easy installation onto compatible Kirkey seats. Basic mechanical aptitude and the correct hardware are typically required.
Troubleshooting
Head support does not align with seat mounting points.
Verify that you have a compatible Kirkey non-containment aluminum seat. Ensure no obstructions are present on the seat or support. Consult the seat's installation manual.
Support feels loose after installation.
Re-check all mounting hardware and ensure it is tightened securely according to the installation instructions. Do not overtighten, which could damage the aluminum.
Foam pad is damaged or deteriorating.
Contact Kirkey customer support for replacement foam pad options. Do not use the support if the impact-absorbing material is compromised.
