I have a nice SPH-4 that is need of overhaul. I want to sell it, so I'm figuring out that an overhauled helmet will fetch a nicer price than an unrestored one.

The suspension kit and the visor are OK, I need a new mike but the styrene inside the shell is due for retirement. Do you guys know where I could find a replacement styrene liner?

Thanks.

Gibson and Barnes do not ship to Canada.

Are you sure about that? When I go to their checkout, they have an international option for shipping. I don't know why they wouldn't ship to Canada, nothing they make is restricted from export.

They don't. Last time I ordered from them I was in Florida and was able to receive my stuff. Apparently, a helmet is a weapon system and it mustn't be sold to dangerous Canadians.
