Opinions on helmet strap

[KradSpam]

I agree with Doug, it should'nt be too difficult to either re-blacken the outward strap or leave as is.
And Krad those little "nuggets" are called chinstrap STUDS

lol...... I knew that........

[MD Helmets]

I forgot what they were called too. I'm a stud so that should be easy to remember now

If I may as a quick question.....I was once told that the holes used for holding the buckle pin should be oval and oval only. I am referring to the holes that run the length of the chinstrap along one whole side. I think you know what I mean?. Hard to believe that all chinstraps would be this way but if I don't ask this question, I'll always wonder about it.

I have a few helmets with circle holes. The majority have oval type holes, but a few are round. What you were told might be an old assumption passed onto you.

My better sense told me that also. Needed to confirm either way.

I have removed the dye from Norwegian stained chinstraps by soaking them in acetone. Works quite well, actually.

To give them their correct name they are referred to as Helmet- leather chinstrap connecting /fastening alloy studs
(and if you believe that I'll sell you an Eskimo camo SS helmet)

[MD Helmets]

An Eskimo camo SS lid?? Cool, might have to run it by Doug, first

[davejb]

I would'nt bother Doug, he more than likely has one or two on that ruddy great shelf of his!!!!!!
