Ancient Fibre-Metal helmet. Looking for the lens clip.

admin

I happened to stumble across this helmet for a song.The flip-front lens was bare, so I stole the outer clip  from one of my tiger hoods to hold the dark lens in.I also put one of my new ratchet head-gear in.So now I'm looking for clip that holds the clear lens into the helmet.Here's some pics. Just a couple welders, big hammers, grinders, and torches.Work will free you.Men in dirty jeans built this country, while men in clean suits have destroyed it. Trump/Carson 2016-2024

Reply:Looks like the first helmet I ever owned back in about 1972. Still have about 20 or so of the clear lens to fit those helmets, your welcome to them for the price of shipping Jon. Unfortunately not the glass ones.Measure with a micrometre, mark with chalk,  cut with a torch.Never force anything...just get a bigger hammer.RoyOld Airco buzz box approx 1974Lincoln mig pack 15Lincoln 175 square wave1954 9" south bend lathe
