I do not think that you should be casting any reinforce peek for any helmets, in fact looking at the original slot at the centre of the bowl it appears to be around 18 guage sheet iron.
It would have been sheet iron cut to shape then to give it strength the forward edge of the reinforce would have been bent down at about 10mm or so very much like the reinforce we find on the Hebron helmet.
