troopermaster Posted August 26, 2007 Report Posted August 26, 2007 I'm putting a pair of those pads in my new helmet. I am just trying to find a good way of arranging the pads so my helmet doesn't flop all over the place. Quote

Jester Posted August 26, 2007 Report Posted August 26, 2007 what a good idea when i get my helm this may be worth looking onto. Quote
TK4205 Posted August 26, 2007 Report Posted August 26, 2007 That does look sharp. Thank you for sharing. BTW, what bucket is that? Quote

Bigturc Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 You think it's possible to post a pic of this thing you've used. A pic of the package or anything useful to go out and find in stores around? I have the AP bucket. I've try the hard hat liner without any success (my head wouldn't fit with the things inside as I couldn't enter sideway anymore. Now, I have a bunch of black foam from shipping boxes that I collected that I may try trimming to the perfect fit. But this things looks really nice. Perhaps it's also available here? Quote
Easybln[TK] Posted August 27, 2007 Report Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) @mrfurious That really is a great idea and it looks very good in the bucket. I would really like to try that myself. @Bigturc The manufacturer is named "Scruffs" and here is the corresponding page from their homepage with a good picture: ---------- Unfortunately they only take orders from inside the UK. I hope that helped a bit, greetings Alex Edited February 16, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
mrfurious Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Posted August 27, 2007 thats the correct manufacturer, my local builders merchants has loads in stock. There must be something simular available in the states. Quote
PandaMan Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 Anybody know of a supplier here in the States for the Scruffs (or similar) knee pads? Quote

Brian Here's a similar set, unforfunately not based in the US but I'm sure if you contact either company they'd be more than happy to ship them out to you. --------------- Edited February 16, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote
