I believe the mods neccesary on the EFX ESB bucket for approval are -
1. Lens have to be changed out to a darker, non see through tint.
2. The 'Frown' mesh needs to be changed to a more fly screen like mesh, (the Helmet usually comes with a dark paper/tissue covering the frown holes).
3. The Tubes stripes are a little dark, and also small, and should be changed. (The 'painted' stripes can be removed using that "magic foam block' cleaner, available at most supermarkets).
Recomendations I would also make personally -
1. Change the padding to something nicer than the plastic stuff. Self adhesive memory foam is available from Clark's rubber, and comes in a variety of thicknesses and widths. Most other faoms are just as nice and better then the standard stuff the helmet comes with. Takes minutes to fit, makes trooping more comfortable.
2. Fit fans for cooling, (Lots of room in these helmets). Reccomend 2 fans, one each side to keep the lenese clear.
3. Change the hovi mic tips or 'tusks'. The EFX/MRCE ones are close, but the mesh is a little wide. It's something you can do down the track, especialy if you want to change to 'speaker tusks)
4. Remove the 2 inner lens fixing screws (in the centre), and place a small piece of foam between the lens ends, and the helmet inside, so as to create an air gap. This helps stop fogging. There are pics somewhere in a thread....
