MX-5 OC Forum

The Club has decided to replace the (rather tired looking) Club Helmets with 10 shiny new ones.

We decided to go for an open face design as it allows easier communication and instruction whilst on-track and many have commented that the old full-face helmets are quite restrictive.

As part of our purchase we can offer Club Members the opportunity to jump on the group buy and have the helmets delivered to Blyton ready to be used at the Club event. Sorry, but I cannot send helmets out individually as the postage costs become crippling.

Anyone that would like a Helmet please note that we will be pre-ordering these through Demon Tweeks, as such, if you say you would like one, then you are committed to the purchase. The Club will pay the full invoice and then send out purchase invoices.

Cost: £56.20 DELIVERED TO BLYTON and includes a protective helmet bag.

Sizes: measure carefully around the head, just above the ears, horizontally around the forehead and crown. Sizes are CM.

Small: 56-57CM

Medium: 58-59CM

Large: 60-61CM

XLarge: 62-63CM

Sorry...

Should be going to auction, famous that one is Lol! 

Have you still got us down for a couple for end of May mate?

Yup

But remind me nearer the time, my heads spinning with Blyton, Mission Motorsport and trying to find a new job!!!

Ok and best of luck with everything, especially the job search  (nothing to do with Polo any modification I trust?)

Ohh, thanks Liz  but if the misses finds any blonde hairs on me (not ny own grey ones) I would be in for the chop, and I dont mean a haircut!!

You have PM mate

Last chance Ladies & Gents, order goes into Demon Tweeks tomorrow...

Those look really nice. Ideal for the job.

Can I just raise one safety point though? These helmets are made of ABS rather than glassfibre. Nothing wrong with that but I noticed on the old helmets (also ABS) that you'd written with permanent marker and also put some stickers on.

While that's fine for a fibreglass helmet the solvents in the pen and in the stickers glue affect the thermoplastic shell of the helmet and can seriously compromise the strength of the shell. 

Can I urge you to keep identification marks to the inside padding of the helmets?

Betty,

Your absolutely right mate, the pen was not my doing (before my time in the sadlle) but the stickers are helmet friendly

Group buy now closed, order on its way...

Chaps,

Your helmets (and rather smart helmet bags) will be ready for collection at the welcome desk in the marquee at Blyton.

Preferred payment method: Cheque or we can sort electronic payment after the weekend.
