nyquil 43 Report post Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Hey guys so I bought a Bauer IMS 9.0 helmet and it came without the plugs behind the ear to attach a facemask. No big deal I bought an AR Helmet Repair kit. I screwed the dome screws in but my Jofa cage clips would not lock in on them. So I decided to try with the clips that the kit provides but there is no way I can force them to connect. I've tried just between my hands and it with it attached to the helmet. Am I doing something wrong? These are dome screws right? Here is me using all my strength to force them together. https://i.imgur.com/8mGUVDS.gifv Edited October 16, 2018 by nyquil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nyquil 43 Report post Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) I've tried them attached to the helmet. Tried using the palm of my hand, tried rocking back and forth and they wouldn't go. Edited October 16, 2018 by nyquil Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need a fine rat tail file and a bit of patience, file around the clip hole, test it, repeat until it clips on. Often it doesn't take much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nyquil 43 Report post Posted October 16, 2018 I also got this at Pure Hockey. Think I am going to visit the LHS sometime this week and get a Bauer kit and not leave to store until they work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nyquil 43 Report post Posted October 17, 2018 Went to my LHS tonight and got the Bauer helmet kit. Dome screws now work perfectly. Moral of the story, don't buy the AR helmet kit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
