Yes, made, can supply if anyone wants a set. Thanks.

Great job on the build, looks lovely.

A nice original feature to try to add is the notch on the visor, http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=12008

Using bondo/car body repair, as long as the back is well glued and has the jointying strips well fitted it is a strong seamline.

The chin cups were all cut differently ,quite roughly tbh, slotted at different places etc but the way the 3/4" black elastic was threaded through the original helmets is the same. Of course there may have been variations but this is the way I have seen two originals done on the inside and have seen other Biker Scout original helmets from behind the scenes with the black elastic running up the outer side. It is the best way to do this for general accuracy and it actually works really well. The inner bottom elastic ends were either glued and/or stapled [steve Sansweet/Prop Store lid is stapled] and "rolled"to keep them from slipping through the bottom slots.

Thanks, filling the seam is actually an easy part of the build, various ways to do it from car body repair paste to abs sludge, then a bit of sanding and that is it. Any questions please ask.

Finished.....easy!!

I have tried to show how I put my kit together, with a lot of pics and less explanations. I am pretty sure the originals were made in a similar way.

Yes that LW guy is really busy!

Ok, so it is not the same as I have shown then?

I never had an MLC V3 and didn't know the wee raised bump was on them, good to know, thanks.

Ok guys, so the common questions about visors is how does it stay up and how does it stay down. The usual way for the lid to stay up is by having a tightness on the visor bolts. A light faceplate helps.The problem with this is it is tight to lift as well. To hold down the visor some guys use a piece of velcro or even magnets which work very well. Ok back to the originals, they used a notch at the hig level and a notch at the low level cut into the return edges of the plastic visor. These notches line up with the internal "bump" on the main helmet. Judging by the design of this bump it may have been intended to be a flexible "spring" with either side sliced open to allow the bump to push in and back out to keep a tension on the visor. You can see the "ramp" beside the bump. Holding the visor in the open position, The top notch is used to hold the visor strongly in place. Holding the visor closed, Unfortunately the only lids that can have this original method are any that have a return edge and have some "give" in the material, Hope this helps.

Nice job guys, and great pics, thanks for sharing!
