Was it sat next to a pile of rocking horse shit, some hens teeth and a unicorns horn? :lol:

EDIT TO ADD, BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND HUMOUR:

I believe you. The comment is a "Wow!", because those thing are as rare as the other items. It's a UK saying.

All the best,

From "Baggypants" re helmet shell size "70's are like rockin horse shit and 68's are hard to get"
Dude in New Zealand 68's are all you can get! Ive been busting my balls tryin to get a 66 shell for ages, Finaly found one on aussie ebay (hopefully i win the auction). Other local guys have strange combos that you cant normaly get ie: 68 shell with a 59 liner??? Must be a company out there making smaller liners for larger shells?
So if there are kamerden out there after a 68 shell with a 60 liner please let me know!

Hey excuse my ignorance guys but is the "helmet shell size" the measurement taken from around the outside or the inside of the shell?? I have a m40 helmet that measures 68cm around inside of shell, which sounds right because the liner rim is marked 68HA/60, and also just brought a m42 helmet that is stamped "ET66" (66cm shell) but the inside only measures 64cm??

Ah just as i thought, so the m42 helmet marked ET66 should be marked ET64! Rather odd that it has a 58 liner in it? Ill send it back and try again (what a headache).
Thanks for your help BaggyPants
