D'Fender installation

[kpkehoe]

I recently picked up a new Bell M4 helmet. It came pre-drilled for mounting the retainers for a HANS device. I have a D'Fender restraint. Can these points be used for the D'Fender retainers? They are off by a little from the mounting instructions for my device but I don't know if it will make a substantial difference. Because of the liability issues, nobody reaqlly wants to speak to the issue.

TIA

Well you Piqued my curiosity about the DeFender, Dfender, dafenda).....
Anyway, while searching for info on their site about how to pronounce the name of the product, I found the info below that may be of help.

"What if the helmet already has holes?"
The Defender / DefNder™ Head and neck Restraint real-eaze uses the same hole geometry as specified by the FIA, if it already has holes pre-drilled or has holes drilled to FIA Specifications then you use the same holes.

Let us all know how it works with the D13!

Andy,

Thanks for the info. I must have missed it when I checked. That certainly makes things simple.
