Cyber Scout Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hello Mark The headband rivets sit just behind the main visor bolt holes on the originals, when the visor is up you can see them on the movie used helmets, the main holes of the headband were cut off and a 1/4 circle was then cut on each side to give access to the main bolts and then thay were just riverted in, and yes that's my trusty K.S. here a pic to help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimei Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 i just opened my LW kit...and wow. i can't believe the quality of the ABS. it's so thick and sturdy. i'm trimming it tonight. i'm also surprised by how easily it cuts. almost like butter. two or three light scores with an exacto knife, and snap - it's off.

plagu3is Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 My pants got tighter looking at this helmet, Cyber Scout can you build me one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtFrane Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 The headband rivets sit just behind the main visor bolt holes on the originals, when the visor is up you can see them on the movie used helmets, the main holes of the headband were cut off and a 1/4 circle was then cut on each side to give access to the main bolts and then thay were just riverted in This is excellent. Anybody try this with an MLCv3 yet? I might have to give this a shot. Will post a thread if I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Leo Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Aaron I tried in my MLCv3, and it was impossible, not enough space to enter with this !!!!!!! Leo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB-7076 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Aaron I tried in my MLCv3, and it was impossible, not enough space to enter with this !!!!!!! Leo The MLC is a design derived from the Don Post. as such it is smaller than the original and due to material also has a thicker material strength. that is why it is not possible to install the liner like the original. this LW helmet is closer to original specs and also pulled with a near original if not original material. that is why everything will work as in the original helmet. Too bad I still don't have one.....sold my MLC to have the funds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
