Suomy Helmet Help

[pr0xy]

ok -- So I got a new Suomy Spec1R - the Martin replica.

I tried to replace the visor... you first have to insert a key, and then the side plates come off. I didn't even replace the visor, because the directions are not clear whatsoever.

Now, I am having problems putting the side plates on. Can someone please provide me the directions how to put those on? I probably spent like an hour trying to figure it out -- how to put them back on with no success.

hook up the top clip to what? And what position if the opening lever suppose to be in... towards the front of the helmet or back?

also, does the visor have to be open and closed when installing the side pieces?

Well once you have the side caps off, move that visor all the way to the top then slide the clear tab all the way to the right to remove the visor. Install new one the same way. That tab squeezes these 2 plastic pieces that hold the visor in place.

To install the side pod back on, hook it up to the upper slot and hold it flush to the helmet, use the key to push in the tab and apply some force towards the front portion of the side pod. You should hear a click once it's mounted.
