has anyone ever made a sliding nasal here?
I;m building a helm with one and was wondering what thickness of metal you'd recomend for the bracket that holds the nasal in place.

that helmet is a much fancier version of what i'm doing, but it shows the bracket pretty well.

I would personaly go fairly thick, as the hole in the bracket for the 'pin' is likely threaded. it's also got to be tough enough to handle being pushed away from the nasal by the threaded pin. I would not go less than 1/8"
