Just an update on my helmet progress. I have almost finished it. Just need to fix/ paint the decals on the ears and she should be ready to go. I will be adding a chin strap inside the helmet and some helmet padding.
The fans have needed a small adjustment. I found out the placement I wanted and noticed the rubber spacers (the same ones I'm using for my visor install) are a tad shorter than I'd like for the air flow so I ran to lowes and got some nylon spacers. These worked great! I wired the fans up to a on off switch and also ran it to a few quick disconnects so when I take my helmet off my wires won't come with it. I also have a few battery packs that I can quickly change out while trooping. How I wired it up are in the photos below. Very basic. Black to black and red to red. But just in case others aren't too sure about it this is what I did.
I then lined my helmet with thin craft foam from my local fabric store. I like this foam cause it's soft and adds a tiny bit of padding. Plus it adheres very well to the barge cement I use to glue it all in. I will end up adding soft foam padding or a head liner. This is simply to black out the interior and make it look clean.
Other than that not much has changed. I did use a Chicago screw on the inside of the helmet for the RF and a shorter screw that way I don't jab my head on a wing nut.
