Well Russ, it's very simple. Just take a wheel from under your car and take the tube out of the tire. Then cut a piece of the tube from between 5 and 10 cm.

I had lucky to found him in a basement during a big clean up in our base.

Cheers,

Well there are different patterns yes. But I can't provide pictures of them now. Wednesday I'm at the base.
I shall take my helmet at home and post you some good pictures of him.
If you are...

Hehe, nice to see that these helmets are appreciated. I have them myself, because I used them myself long time in the Belgian army. :-) And still do, but now we have another kevlartype.

Who Dares...
