As most know, currently you can buy a three hole Dental Bordan Tool, like here: http://kabdental.com/dental-service-parts/vacuum-compressor-accessories/Tubing.htm ... But if you look at the holes on the current Bordan tools available all of them come with the holes lined up in the wrong position, as compared to the hero ESB Helmet and pre-pro 3.
#1 they have three different sized holes (which is correct, based on ref photos), BUT #2 the holes are reversed and are lined up incorrectly. :facepalm
So most of us end up cutting the borden tool in half to ensure the holes are lined up and positioned correctly.
Unfortunatly the bad part to that is these parts can only be found in Brass and are "Silver plated". So once the tool is cut and turned in the correct position, it is now the wrong color, as the brass shows through.:facepalm
I have yet to find a company the sells them in a pure Silver finish with the holes facing the "correct way". I was even told by my very old family dentist that they just don't make them like that anymore and that most dental hardware is 9 times out of 10 "Silver plated".
*So I would like to gauge interest to see if anyone would want an accurate sized Dental Bordan tool, that has the holes lined up and positioned correctly, and has the correct Silver finish. It would fit most, if not all helmets. Price being around 10-12$ or so.
Some examples below of what I mean with the misaligned holes, and incorrect finish on the installed version.
