Silver-Arrowz Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I've just brought a helmet from Revolution racegear and was wondering what was that sticker that you have to look out for??? I remember there was a few stickers on it, one was a British standard one or something??? It's at home so I'll post up later what stickers are on it. Helmet is for trackdays and stuff and CAMS doesn't specify anything on it's website, or maybe I'm just not looking in the right places. Also I wanted my helmet painted. Where can I get this done? Preferably in Sydney. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73455-race-helmets/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 the latest Snell standard and Aus standards are the main one from memory. MFX does helmet painting. I'm sure there must be an FIA standard as well for the top level open wheeler stuff.

someonestolecc Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I think if you get it painted some scrutineers might not like it - the stickers shouldn't be messed with at the very least.

djr81 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Have a look in the back of the Auto Action (aka Auto Fiction) magazines for people who do helmet painting. Also, might pay to ask at Revolution as they should know people. The brand of helmet you have will determine what stickers it has attached. My Arai (Japanese) doesn't have an Australian Standard sticker because it doesn't comply. It does, however have a SA2000 compliance & hence a cloth patch stiched into the lining. If you have one, don't remove the Aus standard sticker! There is also another applicable standard, but it doesn't spring to mind presently. What make/model have you got?

Silver-Arrowz Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 I Mine also is an Arai helmet. But I remember it having some british standard sticker on the back of it. I'm just worried I can't use it out at track days because it's for go-karting.

Duncan Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Track days are up to the company running it and normally anything will go. CAMS allow: AS1698 Snell SA90, M90, SA95, SA2000 SIS 88.24.11 (2) DS 2124.1 SFS 3653 ONS/ONK NF S 72 305 E22 BS 6658-85 Type A and A/FR Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73455-race-helmets/#findComment-1350375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver-Arrowz Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 I'm getting quotes of about $800 to paint so far. I found one place which would do it for $500 but I'm not sure if that includes logo's and all.

Silver-Arrowz Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 Silver gtst - as long as it has the Australian standard sticker on the back, it's all good... ie. AS1698 sticker.

Targa Tom Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 ahh k then, wasnt planning on using it alot, ive seen fulfaced ones for about $130if anyone see's cheaper let me know. thanks I grew up with a saying - "Buy a ten dollar helmet for a ten dollar head!" If they have a sticker they meet that standard... but other than that you get what you pay for... ie $130 poly carb.
