I'm looking for a template to make an accurate helmet lining,

 

I DID try to draw my own (as somebody suggested), but my drawing skill are quite limited.

 

Can someone please help me out?

 

Cheers,

K.

I can't find my old bitmap file that I had, but here's one that TB7290 put togther

which is virtually the same, give or take :)

THAT is exactly the template I was looking for.

 

What would the correct thickness be?

Karin, look here.

It looks like something around and inch (2.5 cm)

I made mine thinner to match the one that came with my SDS, and used the SDs one as a template:

I think the only important thing is if the helmet fits you high or low, then you can choose the thickness. And try to get a higher density foam, so it can stand the wear better.

Is the foam available at most craft stores and fabric stores (the big green stuff) good density? If not, any recommendations on sourcing? I wanna try the foam for my next helmet.

Walmart typically carries white cushion foam in the sewing section. Will be in a white plastic package with about 3-4 sheets, 24x24x1 or so.

I got mine from an upholsterer's shop in Madrid. They usually have different densities. I picked one that matched the density in my SDS' foam.

Just to add my bit (sorry for cross-posting this)

 

I made these, from my SDS Stunt helmet:
