    Hey all
    Just wondering now if there's any way of installing rails on my Vioer M88 PASGT helmet?
    I have looked everywhere but can't seem to find the answer to my question!
    Side rails for mounting for instance a mesh face mask is what I want them for.
    I know I will have to drill holes in the helmet, but if anyone has ever done something like this, please let me know :)
    Thanks again guys

    It's just a drill and bolt job, really. You may need to stick some spacers under the bolt holes to shim the rail, but that's as complicated as it gets. Countersunk or pan head machine screws on the inside and the appropriate size nylock nuts on the outside. Probably about an M5 on those rails? Maybe M6? Easily gotten in any hardware store.

    Thanks a million mate I can't say I'm great with the old drill, but I'm sure I'll manage ;)
    Thanks again, appreciate the help :)
