Very truly yours,
We noticed that the edge molding on BMWSy stem I and
II Helmets may become loose, causing the painted
surface at the molding to crack.
With a slight pressure, pull downward on the molding
to expose approximately a 3 – 5 11111 gap under the
molding. Using a Cyanoacrylate glue (Super Glue),
run a thin line along the exposed area. Release the
downward pressure and hold in position for 60
seconds. We recommend using a Super Glue “Pen”,
(such as “Krazy Glue – Pen”) which is commercially
available. Don’t overapply – use sparingly for a
professional appearance.
In our Parts Accessory Microfiche – pages 72/22 and
72/27 – are drawings of a 11 Locks, Latches and
Pivots. This hardware should be periodically
lubricated and checked for tightness. Use CRC 556
or WO 40 to lubricate.
An additional strap has been added to later
production System II Helmets. This strap is located
under the felt lining and to the rear of the Helmet.
In isolated cases, where the wrong strap was fitted
(too short), the additional strap will prohibit the
Helmet from fitting properly. If you experience
this, contact your Technical Services Manager for a
longer strap.
