Sonnenschein Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I'm looking for a template to make an accurate helmet lining, I DID try to draw my own (as somebody suggested), but my drawing skill are quite limited. Can someone please help me out? Cheers, K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonnenschein Posted August 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 thanks ´Billy! THAT is exactly the template I was looking for. What would the correct thickness be? K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karin, look here. It looks like something around and inch (2.5 cm) I made mine thinner to match the one that came with my SDS, and used the SDs one as a template: I think the only important thing is if the helmet fits you high or low, then you can choose the thickness. And try to get a higher density foam, so it can stand the wear better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray1134[501st] Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Is the foam available at most craft stores and fabric stores (the big green stuff) good density? If not, any recommendations on sourcing? I wanna try the foam for my next helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be in a white plastic package with about 3-4 sheets, 24x24x1 or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmian Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I got mine from an upholsterer's shop in Madrid. They usually have different densities. I picked one that matched the density in my SDS' foam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
