Has anyone succesfully stretched a liner from Custom helmets ?
they sit properly in the shell - but the leather is way too shallow - so the helmet still Sits way above the ears !
So far ive spryed em with shoe stretch / and neetsfoot - though this doesnt soak in properly as the leather is coated.
looking at all the repros on the web and at origionals - they all look too shallow to me - seems insane to design a liner that does not have depth adjustability
Did the real falshies have to stretch theres ??

Are we talking FJ helmets or regular helmets? If regular helmet just loosen and retie the string in the top.

soak it in "neats foot oil" and stick it on a manaquin and do the chin strap up!
it will give just check it daily
failing that put it on your head and jump off beachy head (head first of course)
that should do the trick!

or even better, soak it in warm (not hot!!) water, and then do the aforementioned. Afterwards, oil it.ssparatrooper wrote:soak it in "neats foot oil" and stick it on a manaquin and do the chin strap up!
