I am trying to get the styrofoam out of my helmet. All the screws are out for the visor and the foam wont come out. It will wiggle around but wont pop out. It acts like it is bolted in.
I have a helmet cam I want to bolt to my helmet and want to take all the foam out to do this so I can put some nuts on the back of the bolts.

Anyone know how to get the one piece of foam out of the helmet???
All the pads are out its just the white styrofoam thats left.

I dont want to jack up the helmet by carving the foam.

Not being mean,but drilling a hole in the helmet will ruin the strength of the helmet any way, so why not just drill a hole through the foam and shell at once??

On the helmets Ive taken apart the foam has a little glue on it holding it in.

Are you using this helmet for MX or water? If its for water I would just drill the hole all the way through the foam and put a button head stainless screw up from the inside,then a nylock nut on the outside and cut the bolt flush.

Thats pretty much what Im going to do. Believe it or not the top of the helmet foam pops out. (area above the head) but there is still the main part of the foam below it.
The foam is loose and does wiggle around but just wont come out.
The helmet im using is one I had when I raced CC.
I figured I might as well use it as I havent in a few years.
As far as drilling holes in it making it weak, this may be true but im only drilling (4) holes the size for 6/32" bolts.
My main thing is not having the camera fall off while riding at Daytona.

Thanks for the help.

I wasnt any help, but I tried. I have always been told buy helmet reps,if you even drop a helmet its shot,throw it away. That is what every off road helmet maker has all ways told us,from HJC to Shoei. Ive never had a KBC apart wierd that it just wont come out.

Done, now all I need to do is make a teather for it just incase the mount comes out of the holder. Or the mount or holder breaks and I wont lose the camera.
