The HQ head restraints were an option for all 1971 HQs. They became standard for all models in 1972 to comply with ADR22.

It looks like I will have to leave mine on to comply with the ADR law as it is a 72,I am getting the trim redone in july and was going to tell the trimmer not to worry about the headrest.
Thanks for the info Terry.
Regards Tony.

Yes no rules for NZ !! but it is strange that our first Torana , NZ assembled was LJ series 2 from late 1973 , and they had headrests as standard ? Mark.

It may have not been originally built for NZ and was a dealer swap?
