Product Information
Full details
The Kirkey Additional Head Support (Right Hand) is designed for racers using non-containment Kirkey aluminum seats, offering enhanced head protection during aggressive cornering and side impacts. Its primary benefit is increased safety and reduced risk of head and neck injuries by providing superior lateral support. A caveat is that it's specifically for non-containment seats and optional covers are sold separately. Key features include robust aluminum construction, impact-absorbing foam, and easy installation.

FAQs
Can I install this on a containment seat?
No, this head support is specifically designed for Kirkey's non-containment aluminum seats only. It is not compatible with containment seat models.
What material is the head support made from?
The main structure is constructed from the same grade aluminum used in Kirkey seats, and it features an impact-absorbing foam pad.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
Mounting hardware is typically not included with the head support itself and may need to be sourced separately or may come with the original seat installation.
Are the black vinyl covers included?
No, the optional black vinyl covers are sold separately and are not included with the Kirkey Additional Head Support.
How much extra support does this provide?
It significantly increases lateral head support, which is crucial during heavy cornering and vital for mitigating injury in side impacts.
Is this legal for all racing series?
Compliance with specific racing series rules is the responsibility of the user. Consult your series' technical regulations regarding seat and safety equipment.
Troubleshooting
Head support feels loose after installation.
Re-check all mounting bolts and ensure they are tightened securely. Verify that the correct hardware for your specific Kirkey seat model is being used.
Support interferes with helmet or driving position.
Adjust the seat position if possible, or consider if the support is mounted correctly. Minor adjustments to the support's angle might be possible depending on the seat and mounting hardware.
Foam pad appears damaged or degraded.
Inspect the foam pad for tears or significant compression. Contact Kirkey or your parts supplier for replacement foam pads if available. Do not use if the foam's integrity is compromised.
