Original attachment method, used for the ESB Hero helmet interior

Did a quick mock-up on my 3D helmet model:

Bingo!, I’m feeling that’s it

 

[Jango Fett Jr]

That makes sense but isn’t this the top screw? The clip appears to attach above it

Fantastic!

Jango you have a point, but inside the ESB helmet, the top screw, is behind the bracket shown by RaffleFett

The rounded flathead screw, that sits flush with the bolt, can be seen in both photos, shared by me and RaffleFett.

Oh yeah, I lost sight of the original discussion over the ESB helmet, I agree this mock-up looks right! I’m just also trying make sense of how the ROTJ helmet differs.

Might be the screw and the clip was glued to the helmet (the post ROTJ helmet already had both straps missing and who knows in what way they modified the interior), but if you looks at the Pre-Pro #3 image (in the right down corner of the ROTJ image) there's no screw visible.

Another image of the mock-up (disregard the inaccurate screw):

Would you mind sharing this 3d model with sidewinder?. I was speaking with him earlier today.

Great work

 

[RafalFett]

It is a crude drawing and inaccurate. Might try to guesstimate some dimensions of the clip/plate.

Your a wizard man, amazing work as always.

Here's a quick guesstimation:

And the model in STL format. It's good for a starting point, but not 100% accurate.

Here’s a crude template I just made, based of RaffleFett’s template measurements. Please don’t mind my crafting skills lol

That was fast!
This looks like it could be an existing bracket...I googled “metal z bracket” and it might be possible to find something that works

Brilliant find Jango!, I think you hit the nail on the head (no pun intended lol).

I brought a pair of z brackets, along with some vintage style, BA Rounded flat head screws.

Can you share the source for the clips? Those look particularly promising
