Helmet Box. A moment while cleaning my visor a couple of days ago. Couldn't open the flip up front. Catch not releasing one side, just about to start out on a rally. Fortunately have a spare. So today on return I stripped it and found the wire broken one side and the other side down to 2 strands. I've searched to 'net and can't find a source of spares. I can fix it but disappointed to find no spares apparently available. Seems like I will have to get hold of some 1 mm wire braid and crimps and make one up.

Ive found with items like this, contacting the manufacturer usually gets it sorted.
Thanks podman - no joy, spare not available. They mailed me advising me not to try repairing it - that would be 'modifying' it, but instead to buy a new helmet. Like one of theirs, with stranded cable which fails in 4 years at only 3k miles per year! I've fitted a new cable made from more flexible stronger stuff. In my book not so much a modification as an improvement. Works a treat.
