“I magic marketed the face and cut the details out using my drill, 10mm bit and angle grinder with 1.2mm blade…I used a few of these!!

The plan was to cut the bottom off and use the lower section of the cylinder for the hood of the helmet.”

Step 2 – Mouth Detailing

Mark out using a marker pen, drill 3mm hole and tap using a 4mm tapping wrench. The hinge is fitted with 4mm x 10mm machine screws.”

My first design used 3 scaffolding tubes welded together but I thought is sucked so ended up cutting them off and going with a 6 tier exhaust which I’m much happier with.”

Step 6 – Weld And Grind.

Once welded I used a flap wheel fitted to my grinder to smooth all rough edges and strip the paint.”
