helmet brow gaurd - Anonymous - 02-01-2005
What would be the best way to re secure the cross piece that goes across the brow of the helmet? It moves up and down and looks tacky...Aug33 <p></p><i></i>

Just tighten the rivets that hold it. Even then it is movable when you push it. What do you mean by looking tacky?<br>

When it is pushed up it does not look authentic, but more like it is broken. I just did not like how it looked, thanks for the help. Aug33 <p></p><i></i>

I would place the guard in the proper location, mark it with a marker. Move the guard up out of the way and drill a couple of holes smaller than the width of the guard. Put the guard back in place and throw a couple of quick welds on the inside of the helmet tacking the guard in place. Invisible repair from the outside. Problem fixed! <p></p><i></i>

Hang on - what type of helmet do you have? Motorcycle? It sounds like it was deliberately movable, maybe? Do you have a link to a photo of it? <p></p><i></i>

The brow guard is the least of your problems. <p></p><i></i>

Well thanks for the help...I know that it is the kind of thing to avoid getting, but I wanted something cheap becasue I use it and beat it to peices. I don't want to destroy one of better quality and so I use this one. Nothing to get bent out of shape over. Aug33 <p></p><i></i>

Don't worry about it. If that's the best you can afford now, then it's fine. Maybe later you will be able to get a better helmet. <p></p><i></i>
