EE-3 slinger Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 The title says it all. Apparently the new AM bucket isn't acceptable for EIB (I wish it said that somewhere) and I just spent the last of my savings on that kit.....SO what is the cheapest acceptable helmet and where do I get one from? Thanks all, G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all, G Sorry to hear that, i made the same mistake in the past. I got an Authentic Props from Mark wich had minor scratches that i fixed. I think he sells them 130 us.

tkrestonva[TK] Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 An AP seconds kit is a good choice, occasionally Mark has them for sale. If you look in the For Sale section you should be able to find the most recent offering, along with the price he wanted. Other than that, just keep your eyes open for helmet sales. Most of the non-ebay helmets I've seen come up over the past months - including a VT that is right now up for sale DIRT CHEAP - will pass EIB muster.

bluehickey Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 I just saw a helmet kit being sold on the legion boards for $100. It was sold fairly quickly though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnyt17 Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Isn't the ATA an EIB passable bucket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-7980 Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 You're in Australia? Theres a person name MouldMan I think that sells some helmets, and you wouldn't get killed with shipping costs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I believe ATA will be your least expensive option - he even undersells the AP recaster in Australia - even when shipping is factored in! If you want ABS though, your best legitimate option is looking for an AP second. For the record - the FX is the only helmet that I know of that is 501st acceptable but is *not* EIB acceptable.

Because ATA can't possibly be smaller then AP's (On some one my size it looks great) but it's tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
