TK-1287 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 A trooper at our St. Patrick's Day parade today had a little mishap putting together his suit and the brow was too short, which led to the brow eventually peeling off due to the heat of the desert sun. Does anyone know where I could find him some replacement brow? Thanks in advance, Andy TK-1287 Quote
TK6540UKG Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 Andy, I personally wouldn't bother looking for the sticky foam stuff the FX lid has... go with the correct rubber trim instead... It will look much better, and last longer too. I've seen a few members offer it on here in the past, so hopefully they can chime in to help... or post up in the for sale section on here or 501st board. HTH. Quote
TK-1287 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Report Posted March 14, 2009 Well he has an FX helmet, so he might as well get the correct FX brow. I have enough of the accurate brow to do 2-3 movie sized helmets, but it would be too much trouble to add it to an FX. Quote

Depending on how he constructed the helmet it seems you might have to glue it on. There was an older post about someone finding an adhesive rubber door trim at an auto parts store and it seemed to work good on FX buckets. Quote
TK-1287 Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Posted March 15, 2009 .. does anyone know where to purchase the FX Brow? The guy needs the correct out of the box FX brow. Quote

Thumper[TK] Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 The auto trim you can use for your brow is the Styleguard Automotive Body Moulding S33216 Trapazoid. I found it at a local Pep Boys over a year ago. Unfortunately I don't have any more. At the time I bought it, you get enough to do 7 or 8 helmets for something like $20. I sold off the rest on here so if you can find the stuff there might be someone else willing to buy some of your extra. It looks much better than the FX foam and holds great in all weather. Quote
KoRn3000 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Posted March 20, 2009 Hey Andy. I have some brand new FX brow if you still want it. I was hoping to get a hold of some of the original looking brow for my FX lid. Quote
