How To Make Helmet Bolts Fit Properly?


Recommended Posts

Do I notch out a square in my helmet for these bolts to pass through, or should I grind the square on the bolt down?  Thanks! Brian

Cut a square into your helmet.  It will help hold it in place and keep it from spinning.

Thanks, that's what I figured but didn't want to cut it before knowing for sure.

I'm looking around for pictures of the helmet I built for my son.  It was a KS but I wanted to use the correct bolts so I had to use a blade to cut squares to fit them.  Bolts worked fine afterward!   When I find the pics I will post them

Thanks! I've got a KS as well.

Many moons of Endor ago, when I built my KS helmet, I just drilled a 1/2 inch hole and popped the bolt in. The corners of the square just dig into the plastic and keep it in place. Easier than drilling a square hole. ;)

Here they are.  So you only need to cut the square in the flip up visor.  The helmet part is fine with a round hole.
