As far as your helmet liner there is another way around this by the drawing here, it is where you use very thin leather and shape four pieces and stitch the narrow ends so that a shoe lace can be put through them.
These only need to have a length that is two thirds from inner bowl edge to top point of bowl, you then glue the shaded one inch edges at the wide ends to the bottom inner edge of the bowl.
Then by adjustment of the lace you can raise or lower the helmet to where you need it, then as far as your stiff hinge you may have a bent hinge pin put on a hard surface and tap gentle with a hammer and this might release it a bit.
