cm325i Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) The takeaway here is that the Anovos s-trim is as good as it gets regardless of what's in the Centurion approval posts. Carry on... Edited February 18, 2016 by cm325i 2 Quote
blackyck[501st] Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Great lesson. Didn't realize the need to switch it out for centurion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
DarkTrooper[TK] Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 This is a great comparison photo. Very helpful. I'm going to replace my ANOVOS trim soon. I don't like the angled corner of the trim. Quote
fuumantroop[TK] Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Man ive been needing to get a replacement S trim so i can open my AP helmet a little more! <br><br> Thanks for the post! Quote
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Some GREAT info. there for all the Anovos builders, Clint. Thanks for the post! Quote
bh0385[501st] Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 That's cool info, but based on the CRL I don't think the neck trim should need to be replaced on the ANOVOS for Centurion. The CRL says: Neck trim shall be of an s-type profile rather than a u-type profile. The ANOVOS trim is most certainly an S-Type profile rather than a U-Type. The stuff you ordered is probably more accurate, but that doesn't mean its required for Centurion. Until there is some official announcement about the ANOVOS S-Trim being insufficient for Centurion, I'd hesitate to buy new trim. Quote

While it is true that no official announcement has been made, I know that the "rounded" s-trim is approved without a doubt. That and this optional source is $2 a foot causes me zero hesitation to buying new trim. I will edit my original post accordingly. 1 Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 I'm wondering what Gaz's take on these S-trims I know he has opinions. -Eric 1 Quote
bh0385[501st] Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 It's definitely a cheap upgrade that I may do myself. I'm just trying to prevent confusion over what's absolutely needed right now. Quote

I'm just trying to prevent confusion over what's absolutely needed right now. I agree with you man and have edited my post to be very clear that this modification is a personal preference. All good now. Quote
cm325i Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Posted February 11, 2016 oh well, there's that then. Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted February 11, 2016 Report Posted February 11, 2016 Paul? Do you have know US source for more accurate trim? Can I assume your s trim is accurate? I can go take a photo of it if it is. -Eric Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Stop hiding this post! LOL Ok... so Paul's comment wasn't exactly helpful. So if the rounded one that everyone uses is wrong... what is right? Pointing out a failure without suggesting the right way to do it is just nitpicking. Also... we have tons of Centurions already approved with the that very s-trim that no one will ever see. No fan is every going to come up and say "Dude your s-trim is weird looking!" My issue with the anovos s-trim is that I think it is too wide seeming. Maybe I'm wrong. Here TM/Paul's S-trim that we're going to assume is accurate because he's Paul: ----------- Edited January 6, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed 2 Quote

I pointed out that the Anovos trim is the more accurate of the bunch. The OP was talking about replacing it with something less accurate. And no, my trim is not the most accurate, but it is close. I would say the Anovos is better in shape than mine. The original trim is a square shaped 'S' profile and has no rounded edges, but feel free to use whichever you want 2 Quote
troopermaster Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 What is the actual issue with the trim anyway? The profile looks very good but I am not sure about the size since I have not seen one of these helmets personally. Quote
PGHtrooper21 Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/16295-new-efx-anh-hero-tk-helmet-legends-edition-announced/?hl=%20efx%20%20hero%20%20legends%20%20helmet This may help. I would like to see a better pic on the Trim that efx used for teh Legends Helmet. Andy Quote
troopermaster Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 Not sure what that link is supposed to show? I have a rubbing of neck trim off an original helmet and my old trim was a perfect match. I still have a short piece of this trim but it is no longer produced, so I get the closest trim possible. I could get a roll made that is a perfect match to the original trim but it would be costly. Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted February 12, 2016 Report Posted February 12, 2016 They are fine. L3 accepted Quote
cedron[501st] Posted February 13, 2016 Report Posted February 13, 2016 Paul, would you share a picture of your small piece of old trim that was perfectly matched to the original? While it isn't needed for this thread, that would be awesome for us all to see! Quote
cm325i Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Posted February 14, 2016 Paul is right and we're all wrong... why is this thread still here... just delete it already, Quote
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted February 14, 2016 Report Posted February 14, 2016 Paul is right and we're all wrong... why is this thread still here... just delete it already, Because maybe it will help someone along the way. We don't delete threads on FISD. It just isn't done. Look now people can see the difference between TM, Anovos and ATA's s-trim! See some good came out of it the silliness. -Eric Quote
ABS80 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) So the standard "U" brow trim can be used for the neck and visually look more accurate than the rounded "S " trim people have be using since the square shape "S" and "U" are visually the same when installed, that's means the "U" should also be centurion approved, actually more so than the rounded "S" which is wrong.
