TwistedZen Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 I have had my Altman for a while, but the top of visor near the bolt is cracking a bit. I am just wondering the best way to fix this and maybe prevent it (as best I can). Thanks!
Chopper Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 Hmmm, that's a high stress area and I'll admit that my own Strider helmet is developing a crack around the bolt area as well. Still, you haven't had your Altman THAT long. I found that my helmet was getting stressed there b/c the bolts were too tight. How tight are your rotator bolts affixed on the inside? 1 1
spike Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 is the plastic cracked or has the paint split from "twisting motion" when opening/closing the front? check on the inside to see if the plastic has cracked 1
HSM76 Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 From the picture it looks more like cracks in the paint.Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A6013 mit Tapatalk 1
Barber Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 I have the exact same cracking on my Altmann in the same places. It's from stress on the visor when lifted up. It won't quite open the whole way and creates some cracking. Mine aren't as bad as yours yet.
TwistedZen Posted February 15, 2020 Author Posted February 15, 2020 The inside is not cracked, it looks like just the paint. It is only about a year old, with maybe a dozen troops under it. I don't tighten the bolts too much either, for this exact reason.
