Ragtooth Posted May 10, 2017 Report Posted May 10, 2017 My TK armor should be coming within the next few weeks so I wanted to get a head start on my lid and just finished installing my upgrades. I figured that it would be fun to share pics of the insides of some lids. Painted mine with Plastidip (spray), installed MICH helmet pads, a ton of velcro, cut down and re-attached original lens, fan kit (2 fans), a Hovi Mic System, amp and an iComm, a hearing assist system (SHA), batteries and an MP3 player for TK chatter. My is a Anovos Original Trilogy lid with some upgrades from Ukswrath. You can check out my build thread and more detail on the lid components here: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/41649-newbie-ragtooth-starts-his-tk-journey/ 3 Quote
kamikaze[TK] Posted May 10, 2017 Report Posted May 10, 2017 Love looking at helmet interiors, so much room to get creative and so many different things you can put in there to suit personal needs. Here's mine, four 12v fans doing ~15CFM, iComm, Aker1506, powered condensor microphone, bluetooth transmitter to chest 10W speakers, 2W hovi speakers, and a switch box to toggle it all. But, beauty is you can't really tell outside the fans that all that is in here hehe (you can check out the thread I put together on it if you're curious: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/39469-howto-super-clean-helmet-electronicsinterior-build/) 7 Quote
Ragtooth Posted May 10, 2017 Author Report Posted May 10, 2017 Very slick and clean!!! It makes me want to take mine down and start all over! Quote
Veshch Posted May 11, 2017 Report Posted May 11, 2017 I really want to paint the inside of my bucket when I get it in a few weeks, but it will already come assembled. I'm assuming most people are painting their interiors prior to assembly? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Quote
Tisco2k[TK] Posted May 11, 2017 Report Posted May 11, 2017 Its only 6 screws, 3 on each side that holds it all in place. Easy to take apart and put back together, even for a novice like myself Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk Quote

Might go for that, actually. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Might go for that, actually. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk While I did "gut" the interior of my helmet (i.e., took out the lens, mouth screen and crappy head band that I was going to replace anyways), I did not have to take my helmet apart to paint it with the spray can version of Plastidip. The nozzle has enough reach to get inside. What I did was not go crazy with spraying heavy coats/layers. I sprayed 4 layers. Three could have done but I sprayed one last coat for good measure. It dries really quick in between coats - 30 min or so. I've used the paint brush version and don't really like it much. It's spreads very unevenly in my opinion. 1 Quote

kamikaze[TK] Posted May 17, 2017 Report Posted May 17, 2017 What did you line your helmet with? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's actually neoprene. I opted to go with that for many reasons. It's a lot easier and cleaner to install versus painting, doesn't smell, provides a touch of padding, absorbs sweat, adds insulation, and better covers seams/bolts/etc. The actual product I used was this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00488DB10 More details of this helmet interior build can be found on the howto post I did if you're curious: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/39469-howto-super-clean-helmet-electronicsinterior-build/ Quote
