So, i'm actually going to make a daring modification to my Bobamaker bucket.....
I'm planning on adding the metal GMH ears to it. (yes, the BM ears are cast in)
My plan is to build up the indentation on the inside where the ears are cast in with some FG resin, and fiberglass. then i can carefully grind down the ears from the outside with the sanding drum attachment on the Dremel, then smooth it out with a sanding block. I'll even be able to leave that little lip to attach the ears too. I shouldnt have to repaint the whole helmet either. I tested the fit with resin GMH ears and they are almost perfect. so im very confident i can get the metal GMH ears on my bobamaker helmet
Crazy?...maybe, but i think i can do it. Worst case, ill have to repaint more of the helmet than expected.
On another note....I bought a set of resin GMH ears from a member to actually see how close my scratch build was to be able to fit them. Turns out its off by very little, so my 3rd tooling of my helmet will be able to fit the GMH ears, meaning you can get Mojo's metal ones and they will fit the DVH helmet...just throwin that out there
