AN-6530 Goggles

[reinking71]

I have a pair of AN-6530 goggles that the face pads have deteriorated and are beginning to stick to everything. The face pads are the earlier two pad type with the metal retainers. Who makes a good replacement pad and how do I attach the metal retainers?

 

Thanks for the help

BanAire use to sell them and I think Garcias and Britts Bits(epay) Have them.The ones from BanAire you could use your original retaining rings on the older runs of the cushions.Now I believe most will have the retaining rings installed.I have rebuilt several sets.The rings on the replacement cushions I had were silver(originals were black.The chamois was more of a suede leather than the true chamois of the originals.

 

If you use your original rings they can be hand stitched to the frame.If I recall I used a heavy black cotton thread and did a double stitch.
