FIVE Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yeah... if they're like mine they have a screw already in the back part. But it sounds like that's not what they're like... We can help though I'm sure! (I'm off to bed soon for now... FYI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartermaster Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hmmmm. The pics are a little blurry, but looks like they are made from resin. Surprised they don't have mounting screws in them already. Here's a few ideas for you. 1. Hot glue them directly to the helmet (not the best option as they could come off if hit hard enough). 2. If the screens come out and can be re-installed easy enough, then carefully drill a hole through the center back of the hovi just big enough for a #6 or #8 3/4" screw. You can then drill a hole in the helmet and screw them on using a nylon nut w/washer on the inside of the helmet. Re-install the screens when done. 3. If the screens don't come out, carefully drill a small hole in the center back of the hovi. Take the same size screw as above, cut the head off of it and then epoxy it into the hole on the hovi. Install in helmet as described in option #2. Hope that helps! Keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 You can also simply drill a small pilot hole in the back of the flat portion of the mic tip, then drill a corresponding hole in your helmet where the mic tip goes. Then screw in a screw or bolt from inside the helmet. If you drill the correct sized hole in the mic tip (slightly smaller than the threads on the screw or bolt) the screw will cut its own threads into the resin. I've done this on several sets and it works fine. Plus it will be a flush look inside with no bolts sticking through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 A simple solution would be some good ol' E6000..... if you mess up it can be redone if you have to. something like a rivet or screws is a little bit more permanent once its drilled.

TD7930 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Hi i have been working on my second TD the last weeks and i also thought, the Hovies were all black. But they are NOT!! The mesh is black and when you take a close look to them, you can see the white colour shining through! Here the picture.. I did not believe it too, till i got that pic and zoomed 500% in! It´s the original Helmet! Hope, i could help (the move-alongs) Cheers, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
