Bucket bolts

[BeardedTrooper]

Hey guys, working on my first scout build after months of procrastinating and had a question about the helmet bolts... I've cut square holes in the visor for the the square part of the bolt to "lock in" but they seem to protrude too far in, do I just cut larger holes in the main bucket so the visor/faceplate will freely swing up..? I feel like this is basic and obvious but I really don't want to mess this bit up... Thanks in advance.

i have seen a couple of the 3m square bolt part stick past the inside of the visor ... and i trimmed the square part

 

what i suggest is keep on assembling the helmet...

and when you attach the visor to the helmet if the visor sticks past the helmet and is not flush with it then cut the square part of the bolt

 

also, you might be able to to fill the back side of the head of the bolt area with some scrap plastic(make a washer) to lift it out of the seated area abit ... not sure how far in your bolt is seated but, it might be able to move out abit

 

i would not make the helmet bolt hole any bigger or visor will be moving around all the time...

 

good luck!

you can use a rubber "O" ring as a spacer, or about a 2mm thick plastic spacer, if you cant buy a sheet try a plastic milk bottle or plastic ice cream container. easy to cut with scissors

good luck
