RS Helmet sponge


Marv

Recommended Posts

Could some one help me out by posting a picture of the sponge that goes into the lid on an RS helmet and possibly give some measurements for it.

I've got some sponge to make a lining but not 100% on what shape and size this should be.

Many thanks in advance :)

I've been following Mark's advice since... I got into these forums! laugh.gif

I took these from my SDS:

Note that the original foam was thicker (and clear-turned-orange.) Cheers.

John,

 

I've got an uncut RS helmet pad. I'll give you some pics and some measurements tomorrow.

Thanks it would be good to compare the sizes, its for my RS lid so would be nice to use theirs if it differs.

John, sorry it took so long... IT's only in my basement, not like I had to walk 3 miles in the snow to get this...

 

I went a little overkill, especially since this isn't a real, screen used sweaty smells 36 year old helmet sponge.... but at least you'll have everything you need for measurements.. I hope.

Box knife.

 

The foam shouldn't be very solid, it's basically the cheap non-dense foam. If you're using the dense, pillow/bed type foam it will be hard to cut, but regardless, box knife is the way to go if you don't like the scissors.

You can always cut the foam with laser. ;)

 

I use a band saw or electric carving knife

 

Both of these seem a bit overkill.... but what good are we if we don't go a little overboard sometimes!
