Pledford Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 So another question.What about this? Should the bottom hang off when it's all together? If I raise it up then the top is not flush and could cause problems when raising the face mask.Thoughts?Sent from my LM-V450 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pledford Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 And...... Is it safe to assume that these bumps marked to drill the holes correct? In other words could I drill them and connect them and everything raise and lower properly?Sent from my LM-V450 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Those are for drilling,but I'd do a little more dry fitting before drilling anything. Also I've never put together a SC helmet before. I have all the others. Does the face plate at the top have a return edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LM-V450 using Tapatalk Try and make the bottom as flush as you can, then work on fitting the top visor on to fit. You might need to trim a little but at the top of the face plate to get the right fit, but take it slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pledford Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 Nope. No return edge.I may do a zoom meeting tonight as I work if from lks are interested in joiningSent from my LM-V450 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pledford Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Should I trim this part back?Sent from my LM-V450 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Yes if its interfering with the visor opening and closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegativeEleven Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 from top down, there's gonna be a gap, that's inevitable. Trim if needed to make it look right from front and sides, as that's the way most people will see it. I know when I built my KS helmet, I was worried about that gap cause my experiences were all with resin, one-piece helmets. You may consider getting some nylon spacers (could just cut a slice of PVC pipe wide enough to let bolt pass thru) to hold the visor away from the dome a bit. The KS helmet has a raised bump on the dome part where the visor sits and the visor has an indent, basically making room for them to pivot without as much interference.
