How to install your new hardware

To install Bourke spikes on your helmet without having Bourkes

  • (preferred) borrow a set of Bourkes from a coworker (in case you decide you want Bourkes in the future they will be lined up correctly)
  • Position the shield on your helmet so that the inner edge of the brass frame is about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch from the outer edge of the helmet dome.
  • Mark the position of each of the two screw holes in the shield by making a dot or "x" on the brim of your hat for each hole before you remove the shield so that you can drill mounting holes.
  • Drill a hole in each of the two marked spots. ( 3/16" for 10-32 screws, 11/64" for 8-32 screws)

  • Insert screws and tighten with spikes. it is recommended to add a dab of removable thread locker to prevent them from fall off.
