Comfortable headrests with heat?

[ChristousPapous]

I enjoyed the great weather on Saturday by removing the hard top from my R129. I rode in it again today and noticed more people riding convertibles. However, as the sun went down and the temperature dropped, I had to switch to my woolly cap.

Despite turning on both my heating and heated seats as the temperature dropped later in the day, I still felt a chill coming up the back of my neck. While I'm aware that some newer vehicles come equipped with an air scarf, the thought crossed my mind that for vehicles that already have heated seats, it would be a breeze to attach a heated pad to the front of the headrest. All it would need is a "piggy-back" connector to attach the pad to the back of the seat heater element.

I appreciate your strategy, but with my convertible, my head never rests on the headrest.

We have these and think they're fantastic; however, you will need a battery pack to power the heated panels. This might be a lifesaver and keep your neck warm while driving.

At their highest setting, they hardly cover my neck in the 129; in contrast, they reach a greater height in the majority of my other vehicles. They should be able to reach the back of the head, above the ear level, in order to function correctly; this is something I need to consider at some point. I am tall in stature but low in stature!

Imagine a scene from John Logie Baird!


His ideas extended far beyond television; he was a prolific inventor in his own right; for example, he devised electrically heated gloves and socks to ward off the chilly mornings and evenings in Dumbartonshire; these were powered by battery packs that the wearer was required to lug around!

Because of this, I no longer consider the concept of an R231. I felt like I was going to plummet from the peak of the seat due to how well the airscarf blew air between my shoulder blades. Ordinary individuals surely experience something similar.

You can use this ~~~ throughout the year. However, I'm wearing a wool hat and a motorbike jacket.

Rest assured, I will be out in all kinds of weather later this week for my MoT test! Not every corner has a 3-wheeler test station, either.

Possibly, I will reorganise things if there is six inches of snow; I am not very dim.

3 wheelers are tested at normal MOT test centres unless they wright under 450kg....at least they were when i was trsting...we used to do them all the time.To test the brakes, we used an old-fashioned moveable beam tester and an antiquated Taplyrgraph instead of rollers; the only difference was that for front-wheel single-wheel vehicles like Robins, we had to back over the pit.

Alright, I appreciate it. My weight is somewhat less than 400 kg, which is why it requires class 3.

Because it typically springs off when you press the brakes, testing the roller brakes is a lot of fun. It is up to the tester's discretion to test the handbrake brake "on the road" using the instrument located in the passenger footwell; occasionally, all of the brakes are checked in this manner.


Another plate needs to be attached to the lift in order to make room for the single rear wheel.

The testers genuinely enjoy performing it...
