chaosprince Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Here's how I've done mine. I used modeling putty to mount some long 5mm nuts ( don't know the technical name for them!) And then painted the putty. I then drilled out the lenses and screwed them in That's straight genius. I'll have to test that out on my jimmiroquai tfa helm I'm finishing next week Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugor[TK] Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) I have seen plastic wall anchors glued in and then holes in the lenses for screws to secure them. Looks similar to the pic above with the modeling putty.<br> I glued in nuts and used small bolts to secure. Also similar to above.

Troopacoola[TK] Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 That's straight genius. I'll have to test that out on my jimmiroquai tfa helm I'm finishing next week Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Here is a pic of the computer nuts I used to mount the lenses along with how I did it Along with the modelling putty. Its a really simple job, but hard to put into words. I will try my best to explain ! 1. I removed the face plate as this gave me more room to work, but I guess it can still be done without doing this. 2. I mounted the nuts (with the bolts already screwed into them to avoid any putty getting into the nuts) into a small amount of modelling putty and rolled them into small cylinders. 3. Once dry I removed the screws from the nuts and marked out where the were going to go in the lid, test fit them and then sanded down the bottoms until the lay flush with the eyes. 4. Once dry, then it was time to install. I mounted the sockets by using ca glue and then addad more clay to stick the socket to the lid and improve the look. 5. I then offered up each lense and marked the position of the top outside post. I then punched the hole for the first screw, fitted the lense and then tightened it up when I was happy of its position. Doing this secured the lense whilst I marked the other holes. 6. I then removed the lenses, painted the new mounts white. Once dry I took off the protective film and installed the lenses again.
