I bought one of the Parkside welding helmets a while ago as a spare (and I've also taken to using it as my plasma cutting helmet).
It's one of the ones shown in this picture: http://offers.kd2.org/pics/d6/b9/d6b9f5abce70a118c10043bcf7617e8cb2cb30af.jpg
According to the manual as a "PSHL 2 C1".
What I hadn't thought about when I bought it was that it has an unusual outside visor - it's got a couple of bends built in. I used the helmet while experimenting with cutting some rather thick aluminium plate and ended up with a lot of bits of aluminium splatter embedded in the visor (I'm quite pleased I was wearing the helmet though!).
I've been trying to find a source of the visor (described in the manual as "PSHL 2 C1, item number 2206"). Can anyone suggest somewhere I might look for this? I tried getting in touch with Solent Tools via their sales email address, but they didn't even reply to my email.
