You wouldn't have an MBU-5/P single bayonet harness strap for sale? Still looking for one to complete a HGU-2A/P display.

Ok, I'll keep checking E-bay

They are indeed hard to find. That HGU-2 and MBU-5 have been laying around for years here waiting for that harness to complete it!

I have 20 helmets awaiting repairs....havent done any for 2.5years.

Those early 1958-1960 era thick edgerolled HGU-2/P are very heavy - i have 2 and cant believe pilots necks were not broken in swivelling under the G forces.

Thanks god lightweight materials were developed and allow modern day warbird pilots to fly with safer flight helmet designs.

Even though I have a nice kevlar 55, I still fly with a heavy 26 with dual visor kit and scott snap-on edgeroll. I refuse to use the new stuff in an old aircraft :p I did modify it with a 55 TPL though.

I've got a long narrow MBU-5/P hardshell, face form, hose assembly, with valve, anti-strectch cord, and microphone assembly taking up room in my closet if one of y'all are interested. I could make a call and get the 3-prong connector, bayonets, and com-cord (which would be easy), the harness assembly might be a little harder but I can still check on it if wanted.

Sent my old co-worker an E-mail to get the other parts, and to check on the harness assembly.

Sent messages to both of you regarding this.

All yours if you want it, do you want me to get the other parts?
