G'day all, my liner has arrived for my resto project and a good quality repro drawstring.

As you can see the seem in the leather which should line up with the rear rivet is way off line so i had to pull it apart and reposition it...."not a lot of fun" and then i aged it a little.

Eric

Just a little bit of liquid shoe polish and a dab of cigarette ash.... but by the time i actually got it in it had a smudge or two of blood just to add a bit of myself

The next pics more or less show how i fitted it to the lid, it seemed to work for me

Cheers Phill (chinstrap is in the post)

Looks great, nice job! I'm getting the sudden urge to start the helmet projects I've been lagging on lately! Thanks for the motivation!

Hey Phil I see you had fun trying to put the liner in I was tightening up the pins and washers in my M42 and I thought it was a lot like sticking your fingers in a mouse trap I dont know how many time I pinched my fingers and swore blue blazes at that helmet .Hell of a job Phil looks good on you.
