Bourkes

So my girlfriend just bought me a Cairns N5A for my birthday. The only issue is that it has absolutely no eye protection. I've already ordered a set of goggles, but I'm thinking I'd like to attach some bourkes since I wear glasses and I feel like bourkes would be good for quick use (like looking up while footing a ladder)

Has anyone attached bourkes to their personal leather helmets before? I would guess it's just a matter of drilling holes and using the nuts and bolts to attach the bourkes. I'd like to avoid mailing the helmet to Cairns if possible.

Thanks

all you have to do is order the bourkes, they should come with the bolts you need (mine did). Then line them up where you want them, make sure they are centered and far enough back that when you flip them down they give u cover. Then place some kind of maker and drill two holes, if you can make them a little smaller then needed so the bolts fit nice. then there you go.
