A test fit.

I had to move the face plate forward a bit making the marked holes go a couple of mm out of alignment.Is this the norm?

I'm thinking maybe because the pvc is so thin, thinner then the original helmet material that causes the error.

Im only talking 2 or 3 mm either side, but I will ask just to be on the safe side.

Hey guys, looking great so far. No, I don't use the holes either. It is not 100 clear on th back and cap where to drill, so I ignore them and build as I like the look. The original holes were drilled from different angles and not straight in, which can throw it off a little. That said, the holes I end up drilling are not far out by the time you have it finished. I have a step by step of building a lid I will post up as soon as poss.

 

Rob.
