The David Clark Foam Head Pad Restraint (40266G-03) is a small but essential headset replacement part designed to keep your headpad secure and comfortable. Over time, headpad restraints can stretch, tear, or lose their shape, causing the headpad to move and reducing comfort during flight operations. This foam restraint sleeve fits over the headset headband pad assembly to help stabilize the pad while providing a soft feel against the top of the head. Ideal for routine maintenance or refurbishing older headsets, the 40266G-03 restraint helps restore the original fit and comfort pilots expect from a David Clark headset.

Pilots HQ had the best price on the pump needed to replace the one on my plane that was failing. It actually shipped ahead of schedule, arrived quickly to my IA who was ale to install it and get me back in the air in a timely manner. Great service and price.
I stopped in looking for some very specific AN bolts. The ladies up front went way out of their way to help me find the bolts I needed. Got my annual done that weekend thanks to Pilot HQ.
