Guest T*E Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 I was able to mold a profile of the neck trim from my helmet a few years ago and debated doig a run then but it was not really in the front of my mind. I can get a run done now if people are interested. The cost of other trims is high at 2.00 + per foot. I could do the exact stuff for sale at $1.25 a foot. Is this something people would like to have done? or is what is out there close enough? Just a thought.. T*E
Daetrin[Admin] Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 Possible. Most of the neck seal I've seen is crap, and only the trim I got from Stomper worked out well. $1.25/foot seems pretty reasonable, comparable to what I've paid for good stuff, esp. when you only need about what - 2' maybe 2.5' of the stuff? How many feet do you need for a minimum?
Darth_Nickel Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 I'm in!!! Even at 2.00 a foot. I think you are right Paul. 2-2.5 seems right per bucket. Hell, if that’s the case I'll buy enough for 5-7 buckets just to have some extra for future projects.
firebladejedi[TK] Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 I'll take some also thanks Matt
Vaj Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 I will take enough for two helmets also. Do you think 5 feets is enough?
Midnight Trooper Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 Very cool, I hoped you would get to doing this some day. Intrested here.
stukatrooper Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 2.5 feet would cover one lid mega price for the correct trim 10 feet for me. UK based.
StarWars Collector Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 I'll take 6 feet. Thanks Matt.
Bigturc Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 In the AP kit, the neck trim is the same rubber as the "above-the-eyes" rubber. Is this the same thing on the original helmets? In any case, I'd be interested in 6 feet too.
TK-2126_MD[TK] Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I would like to see a pic, plz Thx
Peregrinus Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Trying to do the math here... Ten feet ought to do it for four helmets, yes? --Jonah
shabad[501st] Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I just ran out of the Seals Direct material I had been using for a couple years, I hear they have changed to a less desirable shape. I'd love to see pictures to know what's accurate and I would purchase a good quantity - 15 feet.
bobby fletcher Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Interesting thread. I will keep my eye out if it gets off the ground.
davej[TK] Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Matt , count me in as interested . I've got a couple of buckets to do . Dave .
Guest T*E Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Matt , count me in as interested . I've got a couple of buckets to do .Dave . The run is only going to commence if there is enough interest. I have the quotes and it is not cheap. I dont want to be stuck with a huge amount of this stuff. I am not going to sell to certain people as per my personal issues with them. One posted here already in this thread. To answer another question, no, the trim on the bottom is not supposed to be the same as the brow, but some helmets for ESB got it. Anyway, still debating.. T*E
Darth_Nickel Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Just my 2 cents Matt. I really hope you do this!!! I'm really looking forward to getting some good trim (funny on 2 levels...). Fingers crossed!!!
Guest T*E Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 Bills came out this month and ate my funds for this. Sorry guys, destined to not happen after all. Thanks for all that were interested. T*E
