ww2 flying helmets

I have an early c type flying helmet with perished rubber ear bits on it just wondered does anyone know how or who can replace these please and the cost please as it is a shame.

They have the tiny holes for enabling a needle and thread to pass through. If your ‘doughnuts’ are in a good shape its just a simple case of sewing them to the helmet together. Dont worry about how neat your sewing is, apparently any/all sewing styles were the norm on flying helmets!

I purchased a pair of repro earcups for a late ‘C’ early ‘D’ tropical from him. Excellent products!
