TwistedZen Posted February 12, 2020 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted February 12, 2020 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted February 12, 2020 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSM76 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 From the picture it looks more like cracks in the paint.Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A6013 mit Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barber Posted February 12, 2020 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 the front/visor should move freely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistedZen Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
