yep Stephen Silburn is the man you need, he has worked on some of my helmets and always does a top notch job. He also makes replica helmets which are fantastic. He does not have a website but trades as izavailable on ebay and usually has a couple of items listed so you should be able to contact him that way.

Sefton Clothing, Stephen Silburn, as already mentioned. He does amazing work

He’s repaired two RAF Type Cs used by USAAF pilots for me. This one was my first ever that I had lying on a shelf since the mid 1970s when I got it as a kid. Ear cups cut off and I couldn’t for the life of me figure how I’d ever get it right.

Heard about Mr. Silburn and he took on the job. Looks great don’t you think?

He does both the early Type C receiver cups and the later type as is shown here.

Hi Jules

I think Stephen Silburn (Sefton) does them but I believe there are others too.

Cheers

Have you tried asking this question on the “Kit and Equipment Restoration” forum on WWII Re-enacting? Someone there might be able to help if you get no response here
