Modified pipeliner helmet........

admin

This is my 1st.  fibre-metal hood.  I have (5 Jackson's, and 2 that are attached to hard hat so a grand total of (7) Lets just say I like Jackson passive lens shade hoodsSo i hated the fibre metal headgear!!  So i adapted a Jackson headggrar to fit (works like a dream, and feels so right on my head!!!!!!!)Sorry for the lack of pics.......fibre metal being a square hole, Jackson being round.  So i used a unibit and made the pipeliner into a nice round hole, also drilled 2 holes 1 on each side for the adjustable stop.It worked out great and i love having all the same headgear!!!!!!

Reply:Oh, I never seen anything but the white ones. The white ones are nice for running flux core at 400 + amps. Somewhat keeps you cool. Don’t pay any attention to meI’m just a hobbyist!CarlDynasty 300V350-Pro w/pulseSG Spool gun1937 IdealArc-300PowerArc 200ST3 SA-200sVantage 400

Reply:Hey great idea man. I have a freebie Tweco autoshade that I rarely use MAINLY because of the un-comfy head gear (plus I typically like a big lens). I have a limited exposure to hoods and have mostly stuck with Jackson in the past. This sound like the perfect fix!-NicheLast edited by NicheFab; 01-29-2015 at 02:56 PM.
