Where to find extra thick foam microphone covers
Farley replied to SDQDI's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
I have tried cutting the thumbs off all motor bike gloves and punching holes in , in line with the mic element. With a normal 3mm thick muff under neath. Didn't work I then took a foam rubber pot scourer and shaped it on a belt sander and drilled a hole down the centre and placed this over the leather boot. Didn't work I then bought wind muffs that musicians use that are made for mike assemblies much larger than what we need. Didn't work I tried 2 wind muffs over the whole caboodel and finally started to get some where. I took it all apart and blocked the forward facing hole in the leather boot with tape and reassembled the whole lot and it .... you guessed it, didn't work it was worse I have tied Sennheiser S1 Digital a Sennheiser S1 passive and no luck. So as a trike pilot I am happy to share my tale of woe and if any body can help I am also looking for a solution -

I have done exactly that and very happy with the results. My only problem is electrical noise clicking over the radio from the relays. I was to lazy to fit capacitors on the relay contacts to catch the arc made by the d.c. when the contacts opened. I should have also fitted diodes to the relay coils to stop any back emf when the coil de-energized. Picture shows my game joy stick I got from a pawn shop for a few $

The road so far !...................... sorry Winchester's I could not resist that LOL I could not get the new strut connectors to fit in the old existing struts the new ones are 27mm OD and the old ones 25.8mm I could buy new struts and more strut ends or modify the existing ones. Modifying would save all the extra work of cutting and drilling struts and the expense What do you think ?
