I need some carbon fibre for a dash modification. Trouble is I only need a small strip (220mm x 45mm). Got any off-cuts? Or, how much for a full sheet (inc. postage)?

FWIW I don't actually like $10 helmets myself! I have an Arai shaped head (Baldar Conehead?), and wore an Arai bike lid for many years. When I started sprinting I got it stickered up with the MSA decal, but at every event I would get sh1t from the scrute for not having a legible ACU sticker (it was worn off). So the MSA sticker means dick on its own! Anyhow, I got tired of the hassle and decided to buy a Blue Book approved lid. Tried on everything available at GPR, starting with the cheapo Integrale. The Bell range were very uncomfortable, and disappointingly so were the Stig-a-like Simpsons. As usual it was the most-expensive-one-in-the-shop (the Arai) that fitted perfectly! That's life I guess!

At least it gives some perspective to the "you MUST buy a 750 pound motorsport Arai before you even think of going on a trackday!" argument. (This statement usually from the people who also drive in jeans & sweatshirt cos proper fireproof overalls are "uncool" on track days... )

This is interesting here. It gives the Arai Quantum 3 stars, and the Lidl cheapie (re-branded V-Can) 4 stars! 😳 The "how the tests are done" animation is cool.

Just received my set from that nice Mr Webb. Very shiny, and certainly 100% stronger than the previous rose joint setup I had. The fine pitch OE thread means that camber adjustments are more accurate and very easy/quick to do.

If you just want a MSA spec lid for sprinting, then it's hard to ignore the value of the Hedtec/V2 offerings (@ circa. 140 quid with full Snell SA2010 certification) compared to something like the Arai GP6s at 750 notes from GPR. After all, you'll only be wearing it for 5 mins at a time! For trackday use, you can get a top quality bike lid for much less than a "motorsport" item (economies of scale, I guess). Try on a load and fid out if you have an Arai head or a Shoei head! The bike lid also has a wider aperture for improved peripheral vision.

Ack! I'm living in the past... 😳 His Pistonheads ad is current though.

Graham, your email address @central-networks.co.uk doesn't work! Please PM me if the roll bar is still for sale. Ta!

I am interested. Sent you a PM via Pistonheads, but hadn't noticed your (cheaper) BC ad! 😳 Your PM on here bounces by the way!

testing!
