MG MGA - Roll Bar Head Rest

I found this photo while surfing the web, but no explaination...does anyone have the plans or source for this style of roll bar/headrest?

When it sits on top of the deck lid it needs to be movable, otherwise you can't get into the boot. They look a bit hokey if not securely attached. The better installations make the fairing part of the body, along with cutting the boot lid down to about half width (but then you have no top). See here:

Joe, make no mistake, that has nothing to do with a roll bar and is totally useless in any roll over situation.

As Barney said, they are stylish additions, but they aren't used much in real vintage racing - more often you see a head rest attached to the roll bar, which almost all organizations require.
