i got a good quality stand 21 suit as well as boots and gloves off ebay. good prices too. im waiting to find a decent helmet now!

I got a new Prima M3 race suit from this place last year (Dec 2012) eBay Item.

Seemed to be as good a price as I could find.

The Boots gloves and Helmet were from Playskool, go to visit if you can seem to get better deal that way.
Would say you need to visit to try on the gear, especially the helmet. I ended up with a size smaller then bike helmet.

A side note. If you are entering a road going kit car with 2 inch harness, change the drivers for 3 inch. Depends on the scrutineers.

Hi Baz,

I dont know if you have sorted yourself out with some kit as yet?

I have a Sparco Helmet with blue coloured pattern that I used for about 12 race meetings & a few track days.

It is fitted with a tinted visor & has a new clear visor as a spare.

The helmet has always been kept in a Sparco Helmet Bag which will go with the Helmet.

Helmet size is 54.

The only reason that I changed to another helmet is this one isn't fitted with HANS posts.

In addition to the helmet I also have a pair of OMP Race Boots in Black.

Im not sure how you attach a picture but if you want to e-mail me & I can then send you some pictures.

My e-mail is garydavison@hotmail.com

Best Regards,

Gary

Sorry for not putting the size of the boots down...

They are marked as size 8 / 42 but are a narrow fit which is why I bought another pair.

I am looking for £40 plus £5 to cover the cost of the postage.

I still have the box they came in which will be wrapped in parcel paper before being sent.

I still havent figured out how to attach pictures on here as yet so e-mail me & I can send some.

Best Regards,

Gary

How much you want for the Helmet and where are you


garydavison - 7/3/14 at 02:01 PM

Hi Trolley Jack,

Correction on the size of the Crash Helmet, It is size 56

Not 54 as I had put earlier in the thread.

I live over in Ely, near Cambridge

You are welcome to collect the helmet if interested or I can send by DHL / Courier Service.

The plan was to keep the helmet in the bag with the spare visor & then put it into another box surrounded by polystyrene beads from previous parcels to act as a cushion.

I hope you don't mind but I have sent some pictures via e-mail to the e-mail address that comes up on you page.

I am looking for £225 for the helmet, bag & visor

New price from Demon Tweeks is;

£540 inc vat for the helmet
£33 inc vat for the bag
£64 inc vat for the visor
Total cost of the items new +/- £640

As you will see from the pictures it is in an almost new condition.

Best Regards,

Gary
