Gecko Helmet
Hey peoples.
I'm looking for a Gecko helmet, since i'm tired of getting my face blasted while driving.
I'm located in Germany, so it should be possible to ship it over there.
Many Thanks

I have looked at the pictures on ebay and it seems that there are no studs for the visor only holes perhaps even blanked off holes so you cannot fit a visor without them.
sometimes buying something cheap is not always the best solution
You should have contacted Richard (NautiBuoy) I am sure his Gecko comes with a visor

I've converted several of the SBS Black Geckos to use a visor by simply adding studs over the marked spots.
Even made up a jig that fits in my vice to act as an anvil behind the part of the stud that goes inside the helmet.
I still have some spare studs etc if anyone wants me to convert theirs.

Cheers.
Took a while as I hand cut them with a scalpel.
The font matches the name graphics I also hand cut to go on the side of the RIB Console.

It's called 7 year Vinyl.
It comes in loads of colours and can normally be picked up really cheap as end of rolls etc from sign makers.
I have some White and Black that came out of a skip outside a sign makers as their waste so it was very cheap
