Pins for a Nitro visor

[Temych]

I just bought a pinlock insert for my Nitro helmet from racevisors and realised my helmet didn't come with any pins. It has just two drilled holes with plastic bits sitting flush.

Am I supposed to buy the pins separately? Will any pins fit?

[MC]

Yes you have to purchase them separately (a bit $hit I know) but I think any fit. I had to buy 4 so have a couple spare if you want them, they fit my Nitro lid.

I've always wondered why there's holes in my visor...Thanks

[MC]

I wondered why I was getting so much wind noise from the left side of my helmet a while back, when I got my pinlock I realised the little plastic bit blocking the hole on that side had fallen out

Omg this thread helped me out so much! Couple of months ago I broke one of them pins. It broke but didn't fell out the hole so I assumed it was there for good. I was thinking of getting a new visor then cause pinlock was so handy but didn't wanna spend 20 quid

Good thing I took my bloody time and didn't buy new visor... Just saved my self like 17 quid as the pins are like 3 quid lol

Hokay,

So all genuine Nitro pinlocks currently come like this - theres no such thing as just a kit or just an insert, they're one and the same. They do Black, Amber & Clear lenses.

Could I buy the pins and just drill the holes?

And are inserts universal

Mines came with the pins.

I ordered spare ones as well so have plenty

Mine didn't come with pins either, I ordered from these guys. I thought the pins normally came with the visor & it was a Nitro thing that they didn't. So what's going on, are the pins being removed (aren't the packets sealed?) or do only some come with them? Only cost me £2.50 for 4 but still it was a little annoying having to buy them

Kai if your visors not pinlock ready there's a DIY kit.

No probs. I still don't understand how it takes 2 days to send something across London, yet when I post stuff to Scotland or North Wales it arrives the next day Almost as baffling as why it costs 90p to send 2 small bits of plastic

Not from Nitro's UK importer you cant

They only stock, and only supply them as pictured. Now assuming you were to buy a pinlock original, totally universal non Nitro branded direct from Pinlock you might possibly be able to get ahold of them without pins, but that seems like a lot of hassle to not get something you need.

But then that wouldn't be a genuine nitro pinlock would it?

[MC]

Mine's a Nitro branded pinlock (same packaging as in your pics) Had a quick look on eBay & those that show the contents don't show any pins, I guess we should order from you in future Iain
