Helmet front pins.
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I just recieved my Cairns N5A from The Fire Store. When I put my front on, I noticed that one of the front pins that hold it on were placed a fraction of an inch higher than the other. Thus causing my shield to be crooked. When I called The Fire Store, they told me that because each one is handmade this happens. All the N5A helmets I have seen before haven't had this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions for evening them out? I am debating taking a hammer to the pin to bend it down. Thanks!

Try drilling a new hole for the offending pin and then fill the old one with some epoxy or super glue if you wish. Fairly common issue with a lot of the pin-on fronts that I've seen over the years.

Agreed....one of the beautiful things about a leather is they all have their own personality.

I drilled out the hole and used a nut and bolt on both sides. Looks pretty cool and I know it will last.
