Kevin.Chirico 0 #1 August 17, 2009 Is there a way to remove a camera box from a Rawa helmet? It looks like it may be riveted in. I am upgrading from my PC1000 to a CX100 and obviously need a new box but would rather not buy a new helmet. Any tips? Is it worth it or should I sell the helmet and buy something compatible?Ahhh, its great to be young and insane! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmejump2 0 #4 August 18, 2009 Maybe you don't have to remove the box. This person just modified their box. Could have saved me some $. http://picasaweb.google.com/Kramar.D/RawaCameraHelmet# Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill_K 0 #5 August 18, 2009 Not hard at all. Drill out the rivets. I then took a drimel cut off wheel to one of the stubborn ones and let it bite just a little into the head area and the box (just be careful to not go through the box). Then it popped right off. Putting the new box on is just about as easy. Hold it in place, mark one hole, drill it out, rivet it in place. Do the next holes one hole at a time, there are 3 with the CX-100 box and your good to go. Very easy, takes about 30 minutes with the right tools. You can get the rivets and a cheap rivet gun for about $20 for everything at Home Depot or Lowes type stores. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pilot-one 0 #7 August 18, 2009 Forget the helmet. Just strap the CX100 to the top of your head with an old goggle strap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rivets are a pain in the arse when you realize that you need to change something, or if you decide that you want to get yet another box sometime later.
