Could anybody point me in the direction of a firm or individual that would refurb the interior of a crash helmet.

Thanks

I'm no expert, but is this a good idea...?

I thought the 'interior' of a helmet was the part that helped save your life...

If its coming apart, you may need a new one?

Rule of thumb, you need a new one. Now if you are refurbing an antique just for show try an upholstry shop. My well crashed helmets hang on a wall as troghies, the rest were thrown away as junk.

I would tend to agree with both comments, but the helmet exterior is in perfect condition. For some reason the previous owner had taken the padding out of the interior leaving some fabric, but rendering it unuseable.

It would be perfectly alright to use if and when I can make it more comfortable to wear.

If the helmet is less than 4 years old then maybe, but if it's old then you cannot see the parts of the helmet that have deteriorated

Perhaps the removable lining has just been lost and you can buy a replacement

What kind of helmet is it?

2nd hand helmet! Liner ripped Out! How much is you head worth? Buy a new helmet!!!

you put your life at stake with that thing.. second hand.. lining doesnt fit any more.. would you use second hand brake pads in your car.. second hand seat belts... how much is a new helmet??

Hi

I have a newish shoei helmet as well as several others, its not a case of being tight I can assure you . The helmet in question is a very nice example of a period FANTIC mpa type. It would be nice to get it back to a useable state, whether I use it in competition or not . I take on board everything said above , however I just wanted to see if anybody knew of a place that would refurb the interior I dont really want a lesson in elf and safety ......

couldn't see anything in the UK. Is it legal to refurbish a helmet...? or is there some BS which requires the lid to have its original liner, unless replaceable... I know they - whoever they are... don't like you painting your helmet, or sticking bunny rabbit ears on.

Googling 'motorcycle helmet refurbishing' threw up a few questions in forums, mainly in the US, with language you wouldn't use in front of your Mother...

Good luck.

PS BS means British Standard, not the other sort of BS...

Why don't you try fitting the removable liner from your shoei or any and every other helmet, I bet the lining is close enough that you can find one that works
