How offset should faceplate be in the bucket?


Recommended Posts

I know TK helmets aren't symetrical - how offset should the face plate be on the bucket in relation to the cap.

 

I am building a TK bucket

 

I've lined up the trapezoid shapes above the brow within a 1/4" or so with the eye rim. When looking from an overhead angle it really looks like it is way out of line (looking towards the left a bit)

 

Is this normal? Do I need to adjust it?

 

Looking at the reference pics it seems the traps and eyes line up - with the occasional bucket the right trap is overhanging the right eye a bit and the left trap is back away from the eye a bit.

 

Any help suggestions?

It looks fine side/side/front/back but its the overhead view that freaked me out
