Ha! Deck the helms with boughs of holly... Glad to hear they arrived, and thanks for the confirmation, next day is pretty good at this time of year. I look forward to hear how you get on. Many thanks.

That's wonderful Tony, thank you, of course, please do share. The helmet all in all seems a pretty good piece, but the rings really let it down; I knew as soon as I put it on that they wouldn't last, so assume this is a common problem on a popular helmet, and any advice you give will be very useful to many. Thanks again for all your help.

Here goes
![]() I hope you can see how far the rivet has bent to one side ![]() The top photo shows how flimsy the origonal fitting was, the bottom one how deformed the hole has become with the rivet bending to one side. Here are the replacements against the one fitted. Then finally riveted on inside and the outside ![]() ![]() ![]() Regards Brennivs ![]()

Brilliant, Tony, thank you. Fortunately the ring at the back of the helmet was by far the most secure of the lot, and seems to take less of a battering, but if it ever needs fixing, thanks to the replies in this thread, I'll know what to do and be far less daunted by it. The difference in quality and durability between the original piece and yours speaks for itself.

Returned late last night from a trip to find the cheekpieces on the mat. Fantastic job, Tony, many thanks again for your kindness. Lovely solid rings and rivets, just the job and clearly never going to be a problem again. Merry Christmas!

WOW fast Dromadarivs
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This one has a D ring shape. This one has a round ring. You can see this is what I scaled the rings on and they are heavy duty compared to the ones fitted to your helmet. I like helping people out when I can and doing freebies ![]() ![]() Regards Brennivs ![]()

Is the bottom picture the Mainz helmet? I guess that almost makes mine a definitive example now!
