Made to the same pattern as the original, but with modern materials that are more durable and will not stick to your hair. Complete liner including the rubber bumpers, upper padded cross, and brass attaching bolt/nut. The chinstrap is not a part of the liner.
Blog: Historical info available for educational purposes.What materials are used in this reproduction liner?
The headband and cross members are made from a similarly textured plastic, unlike the original fibre or cardboard. The vinyl fingers are very similar to the original. The cross-shaped pad on top is solid rubber, where original examples used foam.
How does the sizing of the liner compare to original examples?
The liner is true to size and fits the stated head circumference. It is designed to fit shallow, consistent with the original helmet's depth. Some original liners are too small for modern heads, making this reproduction a suitable replacement.
Is the liner supplied with a chinstrap?
The chinstrap is not included with the liner. The liner comes complete with rubber bumpers, the upper padded cross, and a brass attaching bolt and nut. The supplied bolt may be shorter than original examples.
How many bumpers are included with the liner?
The liner includes eight rubber bumpers. Some original examples may be missing bumpers, but the correct number for the period is eight. Some liners may require the removal of two bumpers to seat properly in the helmet shell.
What is the durability of the rubber bumpers?
The rubber bumpers are described as somewhat 'foamy' rather than 'hard' rubber. The grommet portion of the rubber that goes through the headband hole can be fragile. Care is needed when installing or arranging a helmet net to avoid tearing them.
How does the liner fit into the helmet shell?
The liner is designed to fit with the proper depth for the helmet. Some liners are described as shallow, but this is consistent with the original helmet's design. The harness can be rigid, making the bolt attachment difficult for some.
