- In this video, which is part one of restoring this US Army M1 helmet liner, we will look at the criteria for selecting a helmet liner for restoration and we'll remove the old liner rivets. In a bonus section, I'll talk about the manufacturer markings and why this helmet liner so interesting.
Your video helped me out tons..... KEEP UP the great work......
I'm glad it was useful. Thanks for the kind words.

LOL! I haven't seen MASH in years. Now I'll have to go look it up.
@@FreeAmericaChannel it's shown in reruns where I'm at but frank seem to always have one on!

i know this videos a bit older and you may not respond but is there a way you can reuse the rivots if there in good condition, because i have a m1 liner thats in pretty good condition but the cloth in the liner and all of that is torn up
No, I don't think so because you have to shorten the rivets to get them out. You can get new rivets though through J. Murrey. They are not expensive and I use his rivets exclusively in my restorations.
@@FreeAmericaChannel thanks man
Can you do a restoration on an m1c helmet liner.
Yes, I can. In fact, I have an M1C that is missing a buckle for the "A" frame chin strap and worn heavily. It is a Vietnam era M1C helmet but I can do a restoration on that one. It may be a little while in coming. I need to find the right A frames and buckles and then buy them. This is not a cheap hobby, as you probably know! LOL
Cracks require fiberglass fix not gorilla or flex seal!🙄
Jman
Exactly why I recommend not restoring cracked shells, unless you are an experienced fiberglass worker - which I am not.
@@FreeAmericaChannel I like the sheen but to each his own!😜
