Those hinges are awesome I use them on all my visors.

What, if any, hardware do they come with (mounting, hinge pin, etc)?

How maleable are they?

It's just the hinge in two pieces. I use a quarter inch nail for the pin in the hinge. A 1/4" bolt with the sides cut off of the head and a hole through the helmet welded on the inside. And a piece of pallet strapping with a 1/2" rivet for the spring pin.

I haven't tried bending them they're already curved both directions to fit the shape of the helmet. I sometimes grind a bit off the bottom to make it fit a little better.

Guess I coulda added that. I've not had a problem with a single one. Probably gone through about 15 of them by now.

Revival ought to contact you for a testimonial blurb, Matt.

Ok I'll make it even better.

Not only is the product great but customer service is flawless.

Ordered the wisby book from them and it arrived with the spine seperated. They were away at a war when I e-mailed. Got a message day after they returned with a tracking number for the new book.

I like them, but I'm biased... I made the masters for them.

but they work just like they should...and I hate making them these days. I'll regrind a carriage bolt, flats on two side, making a tee shaped shouldered rivet and use it as a toggle to allow for quick change ( it fits through the lower slot).
