Bullard LT Series Helmets

The Inboard Helmet Light bracket will only fit on the Bullard LT series helmet if an adapter plate is used. We have found LT helmets with a manufacture date of 2007 can utilize an adapter plate application without any altering of the chinstrap mounting or helmet shell.

In the picture to the right, you will see the chinstrap mounting has nuts that are inset and therefore no drilling or altering is necessary.
















In this picture, you see the adapter plate installed with machine screws going through the plate, chinstrap mounting piece and helmet. (No drilling required.)


















This is a side view of adapter plate installed with machine screws going through the plate, chinstrap mounting piece and helmet with nylock nuts on the top.













This is a front view. Notice there is adequate clearance for the face shield to be put down.











We have also found LT helmets with a manufacture date of 2009 where the chinstrap mounting is different than the helmet manufactured in 2007. The difference can be seen in this picture (sorry for the poor quality.) The nuts are not inset in the mounting piece but rather the mounting piece has dome-shaped receivers for the coarse-thread screws coming through from the top. This prevents the adapter plate from sitting flush. In order for the adapter plate to work with this mounting piece, the mounting piece would have to be altered or replaced with a replacement chinstrap mount for the 2007 model, available at BULLARD STANDARD CHINSTRAP WITH QUICK RELEASE BUCKLE .


IF, AFTER READING ALL OF THIS, YOU DECIDE YOU NEED AN ADAPTER PLATE, PLEASE CALL DARRELL AT (580) 402-5980 TO ORDER.
