Hi,
No I am not a 'proffesional trader' . I am a classic car enthusiast having owned Mg's and currently restoring a '68 Beetle. I have contacts with a supplier of welding helmets after purchasing one for myself and two for friends, of which I have used for about six months and found to be very good indeed. I am looking to pass on the welding helmets to other classic enthusiasts with similar interests at a very reasonable price instead of the grossly inflated prices charged by other 'outlets'. I have approached a number of car clubs who have been very interested. Sorry if I have offended anyone as it seems ! As to the question about my interest in Morris minors i have a general interest in all classics and the whole restoration scene in general
Hope this answers your questions and again sorry if you are offended !
Cheers

Would like to hear more... £35 sounds a nice price compared to other stuff I've seen.

Hi Again,
Ok well I will have both battery powered and solar powered available. The purchase price to me is very similar so I can offer them at the same price (£ 35.00 +p&p). The battery powered helmet is powered by a small 'penlight type battery' . Regarding battery life I have used the same battery for about 3 months and it is still good. However admittedly ,I do only weld occasionally and I remove the battery if im not welding for a week or so so I wouldn't like to give a precise time. Obviously this is not a problem with the solar type - simply leave them in the light for a couple of hours before welding and should be fine.
Regarding problems i would sort out a replacement helmet , failing this i would give a refund.
Regarding technical spec , here it is :
Filter size 120mm x 95mm x 12mm
Viewing window size 91mm x 40mm
working temp -5 - +55
Light shade DIN4
Dark shade option DIN9-DIN13
Switching time 1/10,000s
Recovery time 0.6s
Eye Protection EN379
UV/IR Protection EN169
Face protection EN 175
Power source solar or AAA battery
Auto power on/off : Auto off
Net weight 420g
Dont know how your club works , for example if you have club nights or whatever but maybe if enough people are interested I could supply you a free sample that you could 'pass around' and let me know what you think - if you dont like them - no probs ??
Anyway i,ve made the offer , I am not a trader , i am an engineer with an interest in old classics , the sale of these products has enabled me to 'make a few quid' while saving others a fair few more ! - let me know - if anyone wants any pictures or anything sending i can arrange this.
Cheers
Chris.

Just thought I would post an update on this , usual disclaimer - no connection only a 'customer' - I have just purchased three of these from Chris - (may seem excessive(!) but I have a team of teenagers working on at 56 four door. - I committed to purchase this week - paid him by Paypal on Thursday & they arrived today (Saturday) by recorded post & very well packed. They work a treat - just needed two AA cells (these are the solar type so seem to only use batteries as 'backup') had a good look at them & am 'well pleased'.
