Could you not use the garden hose connectors like Joe uses on his Don Post?Anybody hooked up hoses to a Fang bucket?
I first took out the lenses and openned up the eye holes a bit. Then I heated the ear pieces and put a paint stick in the helmet to jold them straight while they cooled. So far they are staying that way. The rubies is very warped in that area.
Then I used a grey scotch brite pad to scuff the plastic before using the PPG One Choice adhesion promotor system on it. Painted the grey; then the black. After that I clear coated the helmet, baked it then scuffed it with 600 grade sand paper and clear coated again to make sure it won't lose any gloss. By th way the clear used was PPG DC3000
